Again, thanks everyone for the opinions. I always get such good advice from this board. I have considered all the suggestions, and I am just sticking to my decision to decide tomorrow.

I can't wait to know what I decide.

Have you considered alternating them?
Row 1: L D L D
Row 2: D L D L
Row 3: L D L D
Row 4: D L D L

A friend did hers like this earlier this year and the finished product was stunning.

I was initially going to vote for the darker green, but after seeing the charity quilt, I vote for light green.
i really like your focal fabric.

Wow, what an interesting exercise! I was rooting for the lighter green until I saw this comparison. Now I prefer the dark as it definitely makes the focus fabric pop. If however, you prefer a softer, calmer quilt, I would go for the light green.

Darker. It makes the print "pop."

Hi Dina. Do you have any aqua in your stash?? That might also look better than too much green.

Same here! The darker makes it pop! Has the "Wow factor"!
