I like the first one - I feel it gives a nice visual tie between the darker rose and the floral print. I like the texture too. I don't really think you can go wrong either way though - it will be a very pretty quilt!

The speckled one for sure. The darker spots blend with the dark in the flowers.

Okay, thanks for all the input. I have a couple of days off next week and will make some test blocks (I was planning on doing that anyway because I am also undecided about which order to do the colours. But now I will make a block using each of the pinks and then compare them.)

You have all been awesome and made points I had not even thought about. I'll post a photo of the test blocks when they're done. Thanks again!

The first photo is the two fabrics in question. In the second and third photo, the rose fabric is not as harsh a colour as it looks, and will be used for the center of the chain.
IMO, the spotty pieces matches the floral better.

I like the darker fabric, but both are lovely (and it shouldn't be hard to find a use for whichever one you don't choose for this project!).

PS Post the final tally when you do make your decision!
