Dina, i do like the style of that northcott one quite a lot but i like yours better!! i do feel the border is just all wrong for that quilt but that's just a preference thing. Will prob go w/ that pattern for my first..as apparently its too difficult to stop at one! i may try a mini version first as a wall-hanging. that could look pretty amazing too. I do agree w/ previous poster who said these have appeal for all genders/ages..its a really great style with universal appeal and does fall somewhere between traditional and modern.
