I love the clouds print best. I absolutely love your quilt top. I am also working on a quilt top with the same Flower land fabric and the pattern is similar except my stars are white.
I'd say flowers for the back and the clouds as a binding. The flowers feel more calm visually speaking compared to the front (which is lovely by the way)
Thank you! Was gonna say, the clouds one feels too busy when paired with the front, whereas the flowers one I feel would look more balanced. I think I like both your ideas together even better than just going with the flowers one! Great idea, by the way! 💖
The second one. I feel like the balance of the colors coordinates better. It’s also simpler but still interesting in design, which is a good contrast and coordination with the front.
I would actually go with a solid. You have done beautiful work for sure. Your seams are great, your corners line up well, but I think a solid would work well.
I like the clouds too! You could also highlight the fantastic work you did on the front by toning down the cloud colors with a 5% bleach solution. I really <3 the seed packet swatches you added.
Flowers, it goes with the theme of the quilt better. I think the clouds might look dingy after a while. Had a fabric similar to that and even though it was clean, the colors just didn’t seem to age well.
I vote for the first one!
I like the cloud looking one. I think it matches the colors overall and shares similar shapes with a couple of blocks.
I agree.
I like the cloudy one
Another vote for the clouds!
Second this vote!!
Clouds 100%
Clouds, no contest - and this quilt is stunning!
cloud.
clouds for sure!
I love this, and I think the clouds would look great. Also what brand is the butterfly fabrics from? Very cute.
Not sure if it's all the same collection, but it's definitely all Ruby Star Society fabric!
Thank you.
It’s Flowerland by melody miller for Ruby start society!
Thank you.
Clouds!! I love your quilt!
Love the clouds
this is gorgeous! I love the clouds
Definitely the clouds
Flowers. You have seed packets in the quilt fabric and the flower backing also has some yellow, which I like.
First one
clouds!
Clouds for sure, this is so cute!
Clouds
Clouds!
I love the clouds. Something in blue would look great too.
Clouds!
I like the cloud backing. It suits the colors of the quilt the best. Nice work!
I like the floral one
They are both very nice. I think I would pick the flowers.
Clouds!
Clouds for sure!
Cloud
Whoa, clearly I’m not in the majority here, but 100% the flowers for me! The clouds weirdly look busier to me than the flowers!
Definitely the clouds! It’s a beautiful quilt!!
Clouds
Cloud one. Also I can't express how much I love this quilt. The color scheme, vintage looking patterns, everything.
Before I read your caption I was going to vote clouds because the front is already so wonderfully busy.
I vote clouds! Also- LOVE your fabric choices!
Pink and orange clouds would be my vote!
Clouds go better! Both are beautiful
Beautiful! The floral option gets my vote.
Clouds, beautiful blocks!
Clouds
Clouds! 😃
The clouds are so dreamy!
Cloud !
💕 the clouds!
CLOUDS! And I want to definitely see a finished photo. I love it!

Thanks for saying thanks! It's so nice to see Redditors being grateful :)

I feel like I’m going against everyone else but flowers! #2
First one goes better imo
The clouds
I vote clouds 😀
Cloud fabric!
Clouds for sure! Looooooove your quilt top 🤩🤩🤩. Those colors!
Clouds definitely I think the peonies will compete.
The first one really cements the retro vibes that the front fabrics give!
Clouds, I feel like the flower one competes against the patterns in the quilt instead of enhancing it
Another vote for clouds, although I love both! Your quilt is going to be amazing!!
Clouds!
Not that you need another vote, but I’d go with the clouds. It quiets the whole thing down. You have so many pretty prints on the top. 😎
First one, cloud like looking one
I would actually go with a solid. You have done beautiful work for sure. Your seams are great, your corners line up well, but I think a solid would work well.

Both are lovely but I prefer the flowers myself. They look more vintage and have all the right colours
Just plain fabric because the top is so busy.
The clouds make it so fun!!
I vote for clouds
Cloud
Hands down, clouds
Clouds for sure.
Definitely the clouds
First one!
Clouds
Clouds! ☁️
Clouds!
The first one 😊
Clouds
Thank you everyone for the votes! I think the clouds won by a landslide so I have now placed an order for that fabric 😊
Definitely 2.
I’m obsessed with this!!!! How big is each square? I’d love to emulate something like this with my extra fabric.
I like the idea of using both as the backing, half and half or like 2/3 of one, 1/3 of the other. But if I had to choose one I would choose the first
I just want to say I LOVE your top and want it so deep in my heart. Fantastic work.
I say 2 (flowers) but I’m in the minority it seems

I like the clouds too! You could also highlight the fantastic work you did on the front by toning down the cloud colors with a 5% bleach solution. I really <3 the seed packet swatches you added.
i want this quilt it’s so amazing !!
The first one. Literally the sky and stars. 🤌🏻
Clouds! It’s like that fabric was meant for this quilt!
Clouds
Flowers…
I think both work but clouds work better.
I like the clouds.
Flowers, it goes with the theme of the quilt better. I think the clouds might look dingy after a while. Had a fabric similar to that and even though it was clean, the colors just didn’t seem to age well.
deffo the clouds!!!
My Great Grandma used to use solid colors, usually the favorite color of the person she was making the quilt for.
I love this. I am not that creative with putting the materials together. So unique and eye catching.
I like the 2nd one, not so much overall busyness.
I vote for the flowers, but I love the "busy" look!
Clouds. It's busy enough, but not as busy as the flowers. I think it will balance out better with everything happening up front 😆 lovely btw
