Default White or cream?

The Dresden Dahlia was so fun to make from my green scraps that I did another. I will probably do one more and make them into a table runner. For background, which do you prefer, white or cream?[ATTACH=CONFIG]562264[/ATTACH]

Your dresden dahlia block is very nice. I think I would vote for the cream background-it seems a little bit more subdued but the the white is lovely too. You maybe need to just leave both laying on a bed or such and live with it for a couple of days and see which one you feel more comfortable with. Good luck. I am sure you will make a great decision.

I'm going with the cream. Little softer, unless you want a brighter effect. Hard to choose.

Its very hard to choose. I'm with Tessagin. The cream is softer, the white brighter. IDK

I feel the white helps the greens in the DP to sparkle and pop but washes out the gray star in the center. The cream seems to do the opposite, tones down the greens but makes the gray star center pop more. It is a tough call for me as I like both but I think I am leaning towards the cream because it somehow enhances the contrast between the gray star and the green blades of the DP. I really love this block Tartan and am so thankful you did a tute on it. I hope to try it out some day.
