I like the 2nd one

I like number one in fact I have been looking for this pattern can you tell me the name of it and is it hard to put together. I want it done in pinks and blacks for my nieces wedding quilt and the heart is just popping out.

I like both , leaning to #2

littlehud 02-25-2013 06:42 PM

I like number one. Which ever one you choose it's beautiful

alisonquilts 02-25-2013 07:17 PM

Both beautiful, but I prefer #1.

hard choice, but #2 gets my final vote :thumbup:

Cybrarian 02-25-2013 07:27 PM

Well I haven't counted all the 1s and 2s so not sure which view is ahead. I've made a few and I like them both! It depends on the look you're going for. #1 reminds me of a butterfly and has a floaty, swaying feel while #2 reminds me of a God's Eye and is a more traditional Bargello look. If I had to pick its #1 for me. Love your colors!

#2 grabs me so I vote for it

Wow, thank you for such a great response. I really do appreciate it.. Looks like No1 is the winner, so that's the one I will go with.The pattern is Piccolo Bargllo Uno by Becky Botello and isn't hard to do. The instructions give you a choice of version 1 or 2 and the selection of fabric plays a big part in how it will turn out.Picking fabric is the hardest part for me, when doing a bargello.This one is in two parts and the second half is a mirror image of the first.Thank you for all the comments, they have been very helpful.

I find Number 2 to be too anatomical, so I vote for the more abstract effect of No 1.

SandySews 02-26-2013 03:50 AM

The first one is my choice......But you have to decide which one you like best. They are both beautiful..

Beehiveof9 02-26-2013 06:07 AM

My vote is for the first one.

twinkie 02-26-2013 06:14 AM

I love the first one.

Will it be number 1 or ,by turning it around and removing the last row, will it be number two?.( I am an expert at unpicking so this will not be a problem lol). Which one would you choose? Thanks

I would choose #2!

mjhaess 02-26-2013 08:40 AM

I like them both but would choose one if I only had one choice....

blondeslave 02-26-2013 09:27 AM

Ooh-they're both beautiful but I LOVE the way the colors push out to the edge on the ist one.

nativetexan 02-26-2013 09:54 AM

they both are great but maybe number one is more interesting. close your eyes and pick one!

chips88 02-26-2013 09:57 AM

i like 2 also it draws you into the quilt.. beautiful quilt.

caspharm 02-26-2013 10:15 AM

I like #2. It reminds of the God's eye weavings.

Dreaming 02-26-2013 01:00 PM

I say go with one, my husband did too. Great colors.

GABBYABBY 02-26-2013 02:11 PM

I like number one. Beautiful quilt.

linmid 02-26-2013 02:59 PM

Definitely number 1 is my choice. You have picked a beautiful color combination.

Traditional 02-26-2013 03:13 PM

Both are BEAUTIFUL!!
I think #1 I like #2 I think the binding would be close to the green.

quiltingnonie 02-26-2013 05:03 PM

I vote for #2 - I just like the symmetry more.

wagnersplace 02-26-2013 05:25 PM

Guess the consensus is BOTH are great. I totally agree tho' I tend to like #1 best. Can you make both?

such a sew and sew 02-26-2013 10:23 PM

I like number 1

DOTTYMO 02-26-2013 11:55 PM

Number two.

Delta 02-27-2013 08:44 AM

I love number 1

sew1 02-27-2013 07:52 PM

I'm partial to number 1. Why I don't know. Just like the way it looks.

leggz48 02-27-2013 09:42 PM

I just saw this pattern earlier today....wonderful pattern and great colors. I prefer #1. Nice Job!

slk350 02-27-2013 09:52 PM

I like them both, but think # 2 is more traditional
