    Default 3D Maze Quilt with no hint of blue (and hubby likes it) - about 48" square

    When your DH says, "I really like this one!", you have to smile! I chose warm fall colors for this maze, which apparently is attractive to men or at least my man. However, I am a true blue fan! I bravely chose the gold yellow fabric even though it is my least favorite color.

    Look at how the leafy fabric moves! That is so cool! This is really appealing to me and I am in search of more fabric like it that adds so much interest. Unfortunately, my search has been in vain so far. Such fabric must not be in style right now.

    This quilt has narrow walls. I also included a picture of a quilt that has wider walls and is the same size. Would you please give you opinion of which you like better? Try not to let color influence you.

    Thanks for looking and thanks for your opinions!

    I like them both but prefer the first one best.

    I really like them both.
    The aqua one is much more subtle while the other one has greater contrast as well as the narrower walls.
    Just depends on the look you are aiming for.

    I would rather find my way out of the blue "calmer" maze, the red one is beautiful but a little too much movement for me

    I like the narrower one only because with the larger one, the seams show more and distract from the illusion.

    This is probably a more realistic representation of the colors in the quilt. The path is orange.

    I like the narrow one the best. Seems to give the 3D effect better. Both are great and love the colors of both.

    Both are very nice, but I think I like the red narrow walls better. I'm a bit claustrophobic and the wider walls are bothersome.
