They are both great quilts. When my DH picked out a quilt pattern and fabrics, i told him that fabrics and quilts have to age, like fine wine. I made the quilt for our 25th anniversary, however, it wasn't finished until almost 10 years later. I don't think I'll let him pick a pattern again though as he picked the Kelidoscope block with all those bias edges, never again. I ambitiously decided to do a pieced border, then spent 2 days ripping it out, part of the reason for the delay, eventually i settled for a plain black border to go with the teal and black fabrics. Should have done that in the first place. Oh well, quilting is a never ending learning process, at least for me.
