My favorite is the design of the quilt itself!!! That is spectacular in my mind. I am a devotee of carousels. I have traveled many miles many times to visit one in some far flung place. I have a room full of carousel themed things including a stained glass chandelier. The different color schemes above certainly evoke different moods and all are lovely. My personal favorite is the second one (reds) because those colors reflect the vibrant colors seen in most carousels. I will be anxious to see the finished project.
