I have 20 different butterfly blocks. This is not a final arrangement. Just grabbed a few blocks to lay out on the background fabric. There also will be a pieced border that goes around all the blocks. But can't move on to it until I decide on the background fabric. :D
So far the vote is a tie.
50% for the greener fabric
50% for the lighter fabric
Thanks for all the suggestions, I may just have to walk away and take another look in a day or two before I decide. :D

I think the green you chose for your inner border would look awesome as you background and the green in the second pic for your border with the background color as the outer boarder. The butterflies are totally awesome and need a dark backround to make the butterflies stand out more. But I didn't like the sunflower border at all, to busy.
Please show us the finished piece.
Good Luck

It is so odd how we all see things so differently. Thats what makes so many beautiful quilts I guess.
My thoughts were- to have a light background so my colorful butterflys show up better, making them the center of interest.
My choice for the sunflowers were to add minumal color in the border, but not take over the butterfly blocks. :D
