I seem to gravitate towards the black. Black seems to make things pop for me!

They really look better on the light.

Definitely the LIGHT fabric

Both look great, depends on the look you want to achieve. The dark really makes the blocks pop but the light gives it a more subtle look. Just go the the look you want, I think both will be effective.

I prefer the lighter background. It seems to bring out the design.

Have you tried white-white for a background? These modern quilts with white are catching my eye these days and am
thinking these arcs might be awesome with a white background.

Light blue

dark gives it contrast and drama but the light is more calming. I am on the fence until there are more pieces done.

I'm glad you went with the light - that would be my vote. Can't wait to see it finished!
