Work In Progress Wednesday :: Florence

So a few weeks ago I won (WON! It was a fabric miracle I tell you!) a complete fat eighth bundle of Florence from The Knotted Thread - thanks again to Jennifer and Maureen for such an amazing giveaway! So I think I've figured out an easy pattern to maximize the fabric size  - I'm going to make 9" rail blocks by cutting each piece into 3.5" strips and then joining 3 to a block.

So now I just need to pick an accent color. Want to help? The top one is Kona Medium Gray.
The bottom one is Kona Coal and naturally I like both. Right now I'm leaning towards the darker one but I'd love to hear your opinion! Happy Wednesday everyone :-)

Linking up with Lee from Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday.

    Congrats! It's always fun to win something! I'm gonna break away from the crowd and go with the lighter, makes the colors really pop. Have fun!

    I agree, the Coal makes the colors richer and brighter!

    Hooray! They'd both be great. I'd probably choose medium grey.

    I really prefer the medium grey - I use coal almost all the time for grey when I quilt, but I think its 70% the photo and 30% that the Seattle rainy season just started that makes me think the lighter is better :)
