I prefer the lighter background as it does show up your butterflies much better. I like the sunflowers as it does add a little pizazz to the look of the quilt. You need to choose what you prefer. But the lighter fabric does a better job than the green fabric at showing up the butterflies. Best wishes. :-D

the lighter green!

Second one is my choice. Be sure to show us your finished quilt.

I like the first one better.

Nature says everything goes with green but I like your light brown on this one.

I also like the green background but not the borders. Notice the white reflected surface in the photos above the top of the quilt, it shows you how nice a white boarder would tie in with the white butterfly backgrounds, and would provide a nice space for prominent quilting.

I think the pale green highlights the blocks better than the other.

Love the green - it brings out the green background in the sunflower border.

A second thought, I think I'd trial the dark green fabric as a narrow frame around each the white butterfly blocks, then use a white boarder, and the sunflower fabric as the backing/binding.

Green --- doesn't take away from the design of the blocks! (pretty blocks!!!)
