    I'd choose A, its a bit more sophisicated and would allow for more detailed quilting

    I love B.
    It has the same colours in it as the star so it connects better with the star

    I think the 1st makes the star pop just a bit more, but not saying I don't like the second. I would go with what my heart tells me to go with.

    I would stick with option A and here's why -- although I really like how lively option B looks, it takes away from all your hard work.

    If you stand back and look at your quilt, "where" does your eye go? I'm sure others have the same opinion -- my eyes immediately went to the star on option A but to the lively print on option B, taking away from the star.

    I agree.. the beige fabric does not draw the eye away from the pretty stars

    I vote for the first one......even using the dark color (I think it is black...could be navy) would make it Pop.

    I like the first one. More pleasing to look at.

    I think b! It really pulled all the colors together, and made the star pop for my eyes!
