I'm working on a quilt for my son and he loves the Vikings so this is what I've come up with.

I really like the 3rd one down best.

I also like the 3rd. one best.

I like #3 too

Me, too! Third one down!

It's nice to have lots of options, but don't over think it. They are ALL very nice, and he will LOVE whichever one you choose.

definitely #3

third

3

Ditto.

3rd one gets my vote. Setting frames the viking.

Thanks everyone, #3 was my choice as well. Now all I have to do is turn my 20" Viking head drawing into a Viking applique and hope I don't mess it up.

I'm going to be a little different. As I scrolled from #1 to #2, I definitely liked #2 better. When I scrolled to #3, I thought I liked, but I kept going back and forth over 2 and 3 and finally decided I like the crispness of the white background around the Viking. Really makes it pop and I think that's what you want for the mascot. Just one opinion among many!

So, #2 is my choice

#3

I will be the lone voice here. I like #4 the best

You are right as far as it popping, the white really does that. What I'm afraid is going to happen is once I turn the head into an applique, the horns from the helmet will blend into the back ground and not show up. I'm not that good at applique as I have only done it once or twice. It would be nice to do as embroidery but this is a 24" block and my machine only does a 9" x 6" which would get lost in a block this size.

I'm not committed to anything yet on the center block (except for the Viking head), still throwing things around. Maybe I can come up with a way to incorporate both the green and the white. I will keep thinking this out.

Is this supposed to be the Minnesota Vikings? Why are you doing it in Green Bay colors?

I vote for the third

I vote #3.

They are all nice but I like No.2

Since it is for a boy I would take the Viking with the green background, 3rd one

#3 is my choice!

I am also going with 3. I really like it.

3rd one for me also

3rd

They are all nice but I really like the 3rd one the best.

?? I didn't know Green Bay was the same as the Vikings!

Gold , Purple & White are Vikings, the green was added just to off set all the bright colors. More as a representation of the playing field.

I'll have looked at the Green Bay colors to see how close the colors are and yes they are Gold, White & Dark Green.

I think it's still ok to use the Green here since it represents the playing field.

Like the green center.

Yep, the third one. Really a good example of how different layouts can change the look of the quilt!

I think the center background should stay one color, but not sure about the green. Or perhaps leave it white with a purple border around it. The "expanse" of it seems too big, IMO.

Love digital cameras for this. You can pull up all the different layouts on the screen at once and compare them.

Great quilt!

I would leave out the green if you're doing Minnesota. Green and gold are Green Bay Packer's colors and they're practically mortal enemies.

I like 1

LOL I take it that will cause a lot of interesting conversation if I leave it in then. LOL Still throwing things around so I still have time to think about it but thanks for the heads up on that because I really didn't know that.

totally agree with dunster. Still the green center seems to tone the brightness a bit.

That's one of the problems with quilting. There are just too many choices! I think I like the third one best. But really, they're all nice. I'm sure he'll be happy with whatever you decide.

I think you should show him these pictures and let him choose.

I like the third one better to. I think the green background on the viking is nice.

Sorry to say but not enough purple. Too much green and yellow. It makes it more a packers.
I am from Minnesota.

3rd one

I like the 3rd one down also.
