    I can't make up my mind for the setting blocks - One is a dark brown tone-on-tone, with bits of black in it. The other is a richer, but busier, brown with non-metallic gold roses etched into it.

    I love the fabric with the gold roses, but the color is off, so it is hard to tell which works best.

    I'm odd. I like the tonal. The color fabric with the roses seems off on my monitor

    Gold roses make your blocks really pop.

    As much as I like the roses, I go for the tonal.

    The first picture looks purple but when you lay them with the blocks they look brown. I like the one with the gold. I think it really makes the quilt pop.

    It will be beautiful whatever you choose. I am absolutely no help because I am afraid I would audition more fabrics. Is the dark color in your block brown?

    I like the more solid piece. It makes the center blocks pop.

    I would use the first one you showed. For me, the second one seems to detract from the blocks in the quilt. Just my opinion - good luck!
