Quilting ALWAYS shows up more on a fabric that is solid or reads solid. If you want a place for fancy quilting then you need to go with A. The beige is tonal and reads solid and will be a wonderful backdrop to showcase fancy quilting. That said, a solid or a fabric that reads solid, such as choice A, will also show any wobble or mistake so you need to be confident in your fancy quilting skills or have a good LAQ.

I would go with the first one, or even continue with the white, to me that would make the Mariner's block "POP" so they could shine. Although the second has the colors from the block, it detracts from the block so it doesn't "POP", JMHO. The block is absolutely gorgeous by the way, keep up the good work.

The original was "nice," but this new Beige option screams: "Stunning!"
Going with the first one
(also picturing a gorgeous double border using that beige pattern in the spikes (narrow), and the navy (outside wider border)...just sayin)
