I really like the brown with the flowers.

The plaid probably goes with the Boyd bears fabric.

I like the plaid, especially if it’s for a boy.

I prefer the plaid as it lets the little bear fabric sing! The other is too busy and takes away from the bears IMHO

yes, i like the dark brown of the newer one. but either could still work.

If this is for a boy, go with the brown plaid. There is a new trend... absolutely no flowers of any kind or color for boys!!
I'm serious! The center I donate all my baby quilts told me of the new "fashion rules" a couple of months ago. The boys' mothers are very adamant and will not accept them! Girls' mothers are not so picky, but prefer pink, light colors, and that lavender. Flowers are approved and all colors are acceptable. Don't ask why. No one seems to know.

You can use whatever you want. however, I will echo what someone else said about finding one of the accent colors and using that. I think the floral or plaid will overpower. Plaid on back is cute.

What are the fashion rules for the boy’s quilts? What do you mean that no color is used? Well, at least they aren’t taking quilts they won’t use.

Me to. I like that combo.

Definitely like the plaid used as the back. I don't care for the new brown piece at all. I think it competes with the bear fabric. Yes, to the bow color or a tan or brown blender if you are needing an alternate block with the bear fabric. Especially if you stay to the tan or brown with this lavender, I think you can get away with this going to either a boy or girl. Cute fabric!

I agree...I would be more inclined to think the flowers would be a better choice if it was for a baby girl.
