It's my choc/rasp blocks. Need to know which backings to use. The darker one has some orange or gold in it and the white is real white not off white. The other one has the off white background with a sweet pink/or berry color design. I like the pink and off white, but it is a bit light next to the sashing. The darker would look better just for light next to dark, but I don't think the color combination is right. I have a lot of yards in both and I don't want to have to wait until I can afford to purchase something else. So what to sacrifice to want or like? Help. Blessings, Ruth

My first reaction is that I like the lighter fabric better.

What color is the binding? I usually go with what matches the binding best which of course matches the top.

Either one, but I like the lighter one.

I'd use the light for backing and the darker for binding. It would frame it nicely.
