The one on the left, since it already repeats it self in the quilt top. One on the right doesn't seem to have the right coloration for the top. JMHO.

That's what I was thinking, the right one was just a fabric I just had to buy when shop hopping one weekend lol

I vote for the left. It brings out the colors in the main body of the quilt.

I agree - the left one. The cream stripes are at odds with your white background

Yep, the one on the left! I think it'll coordinate better.

The one on the left lets the center come out. You're going to have to cut with the design and not the grain to make it look right though. As it's shown in the photo the lines in the left fabric the lines are not straight. Might just be me but if they weren't straight lines it would drive me crazy!
The one on the right brings in the new tan color. Does that go along with the white in the center?
Good luck. These type of decisions are always the hardest!!

I think the right one would look good IF it was placed directly onto the small navy print border. It might help bring out the gold (tan?) stars in the quilt. I definitely do not like it against the white.
