Not sure which one of these I like better. What do you think?

Prism99 09-14-2010 08:15 AM

It really depends on what kind of quilt it would be for, and also on the fabrics that will be used with it.

I'm thinking the light background would be better for a child's cowboy quilt; the black background would be more sophisticated for an adult's quilt.

I like the light one better.

Baysidegal 09-14-2010 08:16 AM

I really like the light,,you can readily see all the details

Candace 09-14-2010 08:16 AM

I think the boots get somewhat lost in the dark fabric.

MissippiGal 09-14-2010 08:24 AM

Light...but it depends on what you're doing....

ChubbyBunny 09-14-2010 08:25 AM

I'm going to be different...I like the dark one better.

Ditto.

to me the boots look more 3D on the dark, but it all depends on the type of a quilt you are making. Enjoy, Huggies, Fay

dakotamaid 09-14-2010 08:54 AM

I love them both, but I'm a country gal at heart! My niece I'm thinking would love the darker one.

Lynneander 09-14-2010 09:14 AM

I like the light fabric, but it depends on what other fabrics you are using and if the quilt is for a little cowboy or big one. (personal preference is lighter for younger, etc.)

dforesee 09-14-2010 09:15 AM

Depends on what you are using it for. The light appeals to me more.

AlienQuilter 09-14-2010 10:32 AM

Like them both.

Bluebonnet Sue 09-14-2010 10:35 AM

Darker. What a great print.

Central Ohio Quilter 09-14-2010 10:55 AM

I agree with the dark side votes!

livenlearn124 09-14-2010 10:55 AM

I like the darks.. but I liked the darks on the chaps too=)

grammyp 09-14-2010 10:56 AM

I like the dark. I always seem to be drawn to dark backgrounds.

sewingjunkie 09-14-2010 11:07 AM

Absolutely love the dark...but you have to let your creative side visualize it for you...my creative side is visualizing the dark...LOL.

azwendyg 09-14-2010 11:40 AM

Hm, Depends on what you're using with it. I do prefer the dark though.

purplefiend 09-14-2010 11:41 AM

I like them both! Who makes the fabrics please?

Fiber Artist 09-14-2010 11:57 AM

Both.

LindaG 09-14-2010 12:05 PM

I like the light too - more dimension and detail.

wvdek 09-14-2010 12:08 PM

I like the lighter one. I can see the details more clearly. However it would depend entirely on the overall quilt design.

I would like a pair of each of the boots, please. :-)

LeeAnn 09-14-2010 04:50 PM

Both are very nice. I would buy the light.

Lori S 09-14-2010 04:51 PM

I prefer the Light.

littlehud 09-14-2010 05:47 PM

I love the light one.

quiltingnonie 09-14-2010 06:11 PM

Dark!

pab58 09-14-2010 06:17 PM

I agree with Prism99 about using the lighter one for a child's quilt and the darker one for an adult quilt. Having said that, the dark one appeals to me because the colors on seem to pop. :wink:

gollytwo 09-14-2010 06:18 PM

I like, and have them, both

MarilynLouise 09-14-2010 07:10 PM

I like the dark best.

cherrybsixty 09-14-2010 07:15 PM

I like the dark.

Can you tell me who makes the boot fabrics?
Thanks,

Ritzquilts 09-14-2010 11:37 PM

I usually like the dark with brights but this fabric I like the light

Nursesews 09-15-2010 01:15 AM

I like the light :-)

Quilt4u 09-15-2010 01:16 AM

I like the light better.

beachlady 09-15-2010 02:23 AM

I like them both - dark one would have been a great backing for my GD's horse quilt!

Kitsapquilter 09-15-2010 07:06 AM

I vote for the dark...seems to me the colors in the boots are brighter on the dark piece. But as others said, it depends on who your making it for!

Chatfield 09-16-2010 05:27 AM

At first glance, I picked the light..... they are both very nice though.

bobolee 09-16-2010 05:52 AM

Wow! I love that fabric. I think i like the light better although the dark gives a 3D effect.

sheliab12 09-16-2010 06:02 AM

Dark is more striking. Depends what you will make out of it. Will it be exsposed to a child, or pet hair? You may want to go light as then it will not show.
