    I like #1 the best. It looks more softer then the white one. I really like your blocks, great colors. HUGS

    I like the first one. Blends in nicer with the colors. The second color makes it a cold quilt

    Wow so many people with different ideas that I agree with! I like the first one but I am always afraid to use white because Murphy's Law, meaning the white shows everything! The first one seems warmer and yet the white one is so stark that the other colors pop out. I hope you take a photo to post when your done.

    I like #2--normally I don't like cool colors, but for some reason love this combination.

    Tradewinds in on my bucket list. I agree that they are both pretty, but I have to go with cream background, it does make it softer and warmer. Love your choice of colors..they are great!

    #2 gives the block much more pop. The contrast is greater and really showcases the other batiks.

    For sure it would be number 1, thewhite one looks like a "cop"out.

    My vote is for #1. I like the warmth of the cream background. But I suppose it would depend on where it is going.
