They are both great! I love the southwest looking one. Those colors are great. If you don't really feel like quilting it yourself, that is OK, you know. I made a quilt that took me about 3 years to do and decided that I just couldn't do it justice. I'm so glad I sent it out for the quilting. She did a superb job and I know it was the right thing to do. Sometimes, we don't have to do it all ourselves.
