I love them both, the light draws more attention to the flowers,which I assume is what you want to do. On the other hand the black is mystery draws away from the flowers

Dark...mostly because I love working with black, but also because, to me, all the seams in the light background distract from the visual impact.

hard to decide - they both are great. If I had to choose, I would choose the lighter one.

The light background is pretty, but the dark makes it POP!

I like the light background. Really surprised that I do because my choice is almost always the darker color. I think the light fabric helps balance the quilt more and is more restful to look at. IMHO Either way, it's beautiful!
