White background or black?

I am always partial to black for a busy quilt, but what do others think?

I will go with white if survey shows more white than black (I have a poll on my FB account as well !!!)

I also would chose black. It just makes the colors pop.

laadw 12-29-2015 01:29 PM

Definitely the black. It will look like a stained glass window.

JDP 12-29-2015 01:30 PM

Black! A florist told me years ago that "white" dulls other colours.

stitchingmemories 12-29-2015 01:59 PM

I think the black makes it pop more.

black, diffinitely

tessagin 12-29-2015 03:35 PM

Black makes all the colors stand out. Some of the white strips get lost. Great colors!

nativetexan 12-29-2015 03:51 PM

well both are good but the black just makes them shine more.

beaqltr 12-29-2015 04:07 PM

mom-6 12-29-2015 04:46 PM

The black makes the colors much more vibrant. The white gives a more muted look.
Depends on what you're aiming for.
I like the black!

lynnie 12-29-2015 04:51 PM

the black seems to make the colors pop

maryb119 12-29-2015 05:05 PM

Interesting. My reply was going to be black if you wanted the colors to pop. If not go with the white as it softened the colors.

Merrylin 12-29-2015 05:32 PM

Black, definitely.

quiltingshorttimer 12-29-2015 05:37 PM

definitely black! Heard Kaffe Fassett present on color recently and he said white dulls colors

GailG 12-29-2015 07:02 PM

Are you convinced yet? Black it should be. LOL

Sandra in Minnesota 12-29-2015 07:03 PM

Black makes the colors pop!

Melrose R 12-29-2015 07:10 PM

BLACK! It's the "new" white, don't yah know! LOL

greaterexp 12-29-2015 07:31 PM

Both look great, but the black is so much more dramatic!

cathylynn 12-29-2015 07:54 PM

love your blocks with the black background.

giquilt 12-29-2015 08:19 PM

In this case I vote for the black background.

Jeanne S 12-29-2015 08:29 PM

Black, much more dramatic!
