I love this fabric and have surveyed everyone in the shop, and we cannot decide which color is better!

Please help us choose!

Well it's hard telling from the picture; but I like the brown on the first one better. Elaine

I like the second one better because it shows more definition of the brown objects in the print.

Maribeth 08-20-2009 08:12 AM

I like the background on the second one better because it looks rustic and weathered.

NorBanaquilts 08-20-2009 08:19 AM

I like the grey, the images pop better

Ducky 08-20-2009 08:24 AM

If I were to buy this fabric, I believe I'd go with the first one.

Ninnie 08-20-2009 08:34 AM

I like the top one!

Lacelady 08-20-2009 08:50 AM

The second for me - I prefer the better contrast between objects and background.

kluedesigns 08-20-2009 08:54 AM

i'm all for the grey

wvdek 08-20-2009 08:56 AM

I likey both, but if I had to choose it would be the grey. Makes everything 'pop'.

ai731 08-20-2009 08:57 AM

Another vote for the grey background - both because it makes the other brown objects (especilly the boots and the guitar) pop, and because I like the look of the old, weathered boards.

I would have to say both!!! I can see them both in quilts, with totally different looks!!!

amandasgramma 08-20-2009 09:23 AM

The gray one looks like what a REAL barn looks like here in Central Oregon!

Boston1954 08-20-2009 09:25 AM

What is it going to be put with? Is this the back or part of the front? I like them both, but the brown just a bit better.

Justquilting 08-20-2009 09:30 AM

I like the second one.
What are you going to do with it??

Iluv2quilt 08-20-2009 10:21 AM

I like the second, the colors don't get washed away as in the first.

sewjoyce 08-20-2009 11:08 AM

I like the grey best!

Blue Bell 08-20-2009 11:54 AM

I vote for gray. The gray has a softer look.

thismomquilts 08-20-2009 01:03 PM

I like the brown one the best - but can't you buy both ;) - - -

quiltluvr 08-20-2009 01:06 PM

There's so many possibilities and combinations with both, but to stand alone, I prefer the second print.

Deb watkins 08-20-2009 01:10 PM

I LIKE THE FIRST WITH THE BROWN. TRULY SHOWES THE COUNTRY STYLE.

ditto for me

kd124 08-20-2009 02:09 PM

I like the brown one the best. The colors of the objects in that one are deeper and richer. While there is more contrast in the grey one, the objects are also lighter and to me faded out.

pal 08-20-2009 03:21 PM

I like the grey - it's unexpected and richer looking.

mountain-moma 08-20-2009 04:27 PM

I love,love the second one

Up North 08-20-2009 05:01 PM

I like the gray it is more of a natural barn color.It makes the objects look 3 D

bearisgray 08-20-2009 05:04 PM

The first looks like new wood - the second one looks like old weathered wood - I think you should carry both

thimblebug6000 08-20-2009 05:51 PM

I like the top one because of the "WARMTH" the colours give with their woodsey feel.

The second one is nice but very cool feeling, and not the way a country farm feel is for me.

sharon b 08-20-2009 07:50 PM

I like the brown one . The grey one does pop more but around here the barns all fade to brown.

I like them both...
But if I had to choose one, it would be the first one.

I'm with RedGarnet, I prefer the contrast offered by the second one.

canmitch1971 08-20-2009 08:05 PM

I like the second one. It looks like real barn board.

My thoughts exactly!

amazon 08-20-2009 10:37 PM

I prefer the warmer tones of the brown one best! The blue just looks a little washed out, sorry, maybe its supposed to be that way.

ranger 08-21-2009 02:03 AM

I like them both,but the 2nd one gets my vote.

Shermy 08-21-2009 07:26 AM

2nd one brings out the cowboy theme...I like the 2nd one much better...

Bevanger 08-21-2009 07:32 AM
