    Two treatments for the same quilt, one using a light background, another the dark background. Which do you prefer?

    They are both beautiful, but I guess it would depend on where the quilt would be used...

    I love them both. Sorry not much help.
    I guess it depends on if your going for a calm quilt or a drama quilt. ;-)

    Wow - what a difference the change in background makes.

    I think I like the light one better - but both are great!

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but I like the dark the best. (I usually lean towards lighter brighter colors)

    I love the dark best. I love statement quilts!! They are more memorable.
