Options and opinions please ?

I'm not sure how I want the pillow flower's skirt to look like, so I figured I4d show you and listen to what you think of it :

Option 1 : white triangle pointing down


Option 2 : black triangle pointing up (aka original design)


(It's just sloppily pinned in place now to get a rough idea) What d'you think ? I'm leaning towards option #2 right now.

I'm also wondering whether or not I should pu some batting into Provence's mantle, I feel the wool + interlining + lining alone could be a little light for February...
