    I like both of them. I really like the top one as the background because it lets the blocks shine, but I don't like the sunflower border with it.

    The green fabric makes it much more feminine and sort of "proper". It definitely matches well.

    I like the green better, it shows off the blocks better.

    ditto I like the fist fabric but not with the sun flowers and dark green. You know how much work you have already put into it choose what will make you happy and if that means a trip for more fabric.... that's what you need to do.
