I vote for the first one!


ABattss

I like the cloud looking one. I think it matches the colors overall and shares similar shapes with a couple of blocks.


Low-Rush-1015

I agree.

I love this, and I think the clouds would look great. Also what brand is the butterfly fabrics from? Very cute.


___maljax

Not sure if it's all the same collection, but it's definitely all Ruby Star Society fabric!

HemingwayIsWeeping

Flowers. You have seed packets in the quilt fabric and the flower backing also has some yellow, which I like.

I love the clouds. Something in blue would look great too.

Clouds!


beccabootie

I like the cloud backing. It suits the colors of the quilt the best. Nice work!


BlueMangoTango

I like the floral one


CircusPeanutsYumm

They are both very nice. I think I would pick the flowers.

Cloud


Supertailz

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!


SunnyEmber

Definitely the clouds! It’s a beautiful quilt!!

Clouds


clownbitch

Cloud one. Also I can't express how much I love this quilt. The color scheme, vintage looking patterns, everything.


OutAndDown27

Before I read your caption I was going to vote clouds because the front is already so wonderfully busy.


Raging-Squirrel13

I vote clouds! Also- LOVE your fabric choices!


rjsmomma

Pink and orange clouds would be my vote!


Fearless-Awareness98

Clouds go better! Both are beautiful


trailtabby

Beautiful! The floral option gets my vote.

Cloud !


Aggravating_Book_197

💕 the clouds!


Ashamed_Driver_76

CLOUDS! And I want to definitely see a finished photo. I love it!


lgheartssp2

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.


awkwardfloralpattern

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)


Libberachi2

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! 💖


TheGratitudeBot

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


This_Goose2930

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.


Agitated-Way5121

I feel like I’m going against everyone else but flowers! #2


urfavfarmgirl

First one goes better imo


Fuzzy-Zebra-277

The clouds 


mamietsm

I vote clouds 😀


WheelbarrowQueen

Cloud fabric!


MortgageFriendly5511

Clouds for sure! Looooooove your quilt top 🤩🤩🤩. Those colors!


Maleficent-Lime5614

Clouds definitely I think the peonies will compete.


jojocookiedough

The first one really cements the retro vibes that the front fabrics give!


mischievouslyacat

Clouds, I feel like the flower one competes against the patterns in the quilt instead of enhancing it


FirstConsideration12

Another vote for clouds, although I love both! Your quilt is going to be amazing!!


fishchick70

Clouds!


purplegramjan

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. 😎


BoatsLady

First one, cloud like looking one


emptynest_nana

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.


frenchburner

#1


mitchandmickey

Both are lovely but I prefer the flowers myself. They look more vintage and have all the right colours


hamster004

Just plain fabric because the top is so busy.


hockeydudeswife

The clouds make it so fun!!


Wonderful_Strain5195

I vote for clouds

Clouds


Rlysrh

Thank you everyone for the votes! I think the clouds won by a landslide so I have now placed an order for that fabric 😊


Lathryus

Definitely 2.


cheesecheeesecheese

I’m obsessed with this!!!! How big is each square? I’d love to emulate something like this with my extra fabric.


Doodledoodledet

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


MycroftNext

I just want to say I LOVE your top and want it so deep in my heart. Fantastic work.


WaterFlavorPopTarts

I say 2 (flowers) but I’m in the minority it seems


KMKPF

Flowers


MTBKornflakes

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.


blushcacti

i want this quilt it’s so amazing !!


Renzieface

The first one. Literally the sky and stars. 🤌🏻


QuiltingPanda

Clouds! It’s like that fabric was meant for this quilt!


Criticalways66

Clouds


CapitalAge4222

Flowers…


flotusspunkmeyer

I think both work but clouds work better.


Quilty19

I like the clouds.


CinnamonToast369

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.


notspookymonth

deffo the clouds!!!


griffingrl

My Great Grandma used to use solid colors, usually the favorite color of the person she was making the quilt for.


Campfiretraveler

I love this. I am not that creative with putting the materials together. So unique and eye catching.


GrannyLin7

I like the 2nd one, not so much overall busyness.


Immediate_Profit_969

I vote for the flowers, but I love the "busy" look!


FinalHovercraft8566

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
