If those are your only choices, I'd go with the cream. Personally, I'd use white, a small pale pink & cream (or white) print or pale green & cream (or white) print. That way your cream blades won't fade into the background.
I'm for the blue, personally. But I also think you need to re photograph it, with the flash on so we can get a better visual?? Because the blue one has a very different look for a block that I think should look the same as the bottom block??
Opinions may change if the photo was diff!!! :)
I love the blue, but if you are wanting a contrast that blends a little better, try using one of the dark reds that are in the dresden.
Go dark for impact - lighter makes it bland
I like the blue, but I am always partial to strong colors. However, when I made a Dresden, I used a white background and a blue trim.
UPDATE: After going to fabric stores I have decided that it wasn't the background that i was having trouble with it was the center circle. I took it off and put a lighter color of pale pink and that helped. While at the store i put it up to many colors by laying it on the bolts of fabric and the best to show off the block is down to three, like pink like the center, HOT pink and ..... RED. Talk about some pop. I did put up to several different shades of green and thought it made it look cheap. That is not to say anything personal that is just what I thought at the time. Thanks for everyones imput. keep it coming. kellie
