My first thought was the bones. It is playful and the photo really look 3-d to someone like me who rarely can see a 3-d effect! I love the layout as it stands. Your idea for this quilt is fantastic. You have presented another one of those things that I will just have to try!

I too like the colorful bones. I'd Love to have a Yorkie. Cute fabric.

Here is another vote for the colorful fabric. The bones are perfect.

I prefer the happy colorful dog bone print for your background. Your initial layout is great. I too have a friend with Yorkies, they are happy, little and lively pets. I am sure your friend will be both surprised and joyful that you have given her such a special gift.

I think the light brown is too light and really doesn't showcase the cute little dog. I feel that both the other ones work but for different reasons. I have one daughter who would only want the brown background. She always prefers the simplified look and it would blend in perfectly with her decor. But, another daughter would absolutely go nuts over the dog bones print. Yes, it is busy, but it is also so fun. So I think you should just think about your friend. What is he decor like? what type of clothes does she wear (solids or perky prints)? Another solution would be to use the brown for the front and the bones for the backing.

Darker brown for sure. I have 4 Yorkies and i would love to put them on a quilt but it would have to be the darker brown so the colours don't overwhelm them. Good luck.

I didn't read all the posts, so someone may have said this already. When I look at the bones fabric, all I see is a "blur". All of it just runs together. Neither the dogs or the background really grab your attention. The values all seem the same to me.

The second one with the light background really "pops" the dogs. You don't notice anything except the dogs, which I like.

My second choice is the darker solid.

Make what appeals to you, though.
