NCEPR - Help me pick a fabric for this quilt top

[AJL]

I just finished this quilt top today. It's approximately 35" x 35" (baby quilt size.) I can't decide on which backing to use. What are your thoughts?

Quilt top -


Backing A - (a couple of scraps of this fabric are used in the middle right circle block)


Backing B (the umbrellas are about 4" wide by 6" long on the handle)

Definitely Backing B. Love the brollies.

eta: beautiful quilt! Is it a gift? (If so, it's a great one)

Wow, gorgeous. I think B would be more striking.

Nope. It was just a skill builder project. This is the first time I've ever pieced curves and I wanted to only use fabric in my stash. Nothing has been purchased or will be purchased to finish it.  

I'm considering auctioning it and donating the money locally. I don't have any babies of my own (my "babies" are 4.5 and 7.5 years old so it's too small for them) or babies in my life to give it to.

Gorgeous! B all the way.

It is a really cool quilt! Great job!

You can't go wrong with either!

I'd probably do B, but you should definitely do something with the other one because it's pretty!!

I picked B mainly because I like the back side of quilts to be less busy than the front. I like both fabrics, though!
