I like the more yellowish one, first picture. Gives a mellow look that I like with the other fabrics.

I like the first combination better, Looks like civil war repros which I really like and think they usually look better with more muted contrast.

It's always fun to help choose fabrics. I like the lighter fabric.

Much depends on your pattern and how much is used in the block.

I love the top one but either could work.

I also agree that the lighter one would work. But it is really personal choice. The lighter one would make your other fabrics pop out better.

My first response was hands-down the lighter one. However, the darker has more of a Civil War vibe like the other prints. You can't go wrong with either one.

Thanks so much everyone for your insights. JustAbit, that's a great idea!
