I like all three.Depending what you choose to use it for I would choose number 2 because you can add more color to it.
I like choosing pointseta in red to go with the birds.They make a beautiful quilt,placemat or table runner together.
I made a quilt for my son and daughter for their anniversary with the cardnals and I found patterns with pine trees and needles to go with.I think it is my avitar lol DAwn
