I agree, although my first thought was that the darker back would be nice.

Same here with me! I like the darker a little better but I always go a little darker with the binding and I love to contrast my binding with the quilt.

Exactly what i was gonna say too! I like the darker, BUT Darker for binding and lighter for backing. ;)

I like the darker one but both work for me. Those are beautiful squares. I love that color combo. Thanks for sharing.

If you've got enough yardage, I'd do dark for backing AND binding.

still another idea...if you like the light with the pink but it's too brite, why not tea dye it a little so soften the white? and I like the darker for binding.
