Bargello- Which one would you choose?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi,I'm doing another bargello and also an African table topper which has lots of black in it. I can only work onthe table topper for a short time because it's so hard on the eyes.So, I then go back to the bargello. I now have a choice to make and just can't make up my mind. 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 like number one.

QuiltnNan 02-24-2013 05:48 AM

i like the second one. to me, the first one draws my eyes to the outside of the quilt.

CraftyCricket 02-24-2013 05:51 AM

I like the first one.

lisalovesquilting 02-24-2013 05:51 AM

I like 2. It has more dimension.

Raggiemom 02-24-2013 05:51 AM

I prefer the second one as well. It draws your eye right into the quilt.

bunniequilter 02-24-2013 06:00 AM

I like the first one, very graceful lines that give the entire quilt a sense of movement.

tezell0801 02-24-2013 06:03 AM

I vote for one. Less typical and more dynamic.

Barb_MO 02-24-2013 06:14 AM

I like both of them, would be hard to choose. Why not make two?

ranger 02-24-2013 06:16 AM

I like both of them but I prefer #2.

ontheriver 02-24-2013 07:38 AM

I like the second one best, but both are beautiful.

mighty 02-24-2013 07:41 AM

I love both but would choose #1.

sandrab64 02-24-2013 07:41 AM

I like #1 since i instantly saw a butterfly. I felt "watched" when I looked at #2'. Love the colors and a bargello is something I would like to try but it seems so intimidating!

Dyan 02-24-2013 07:49 AM

Number 1 beautiful colors...

TinkerQuilts 02-24-2013 07:51 AM

I love both of them, but #2 looks more "complete" to me.
Wonderful colors.

Buckeye Rose 02-24-2013 07:54 AM

It is definitely a difficult choice, but I think I like #1 better, and only because it has a "different" look to it....#2 looks more like an "around the world" pattern.

Sapphire_Rae 02-24-2013 07:55 AM

Both are beautiful, can't go wrong. My first instinct when looking at them was #2. Did I say beautiful?

susie-susie-susie 02-24-2013 07:57 AM

I like #2. I wasn't going to vote, but I noticed that the votes are very close, and I really like #2. Your colors are very nice.

I agree....saw butterfly immediately when I saw the first one.

IrishNY 02-24-2013 08:06 AM

I like the first one. Both are beautiful, BTW.

gigi712 02-24-2013 08:34 AM

I like the first one much more. It looks more classy and has more hugable. The second looks like someone's staring at me.

crafty pat 02-24-2013 08:43 AM

That is a hard choice, they are both so beautiful. I think I would go with the first one.

Justquilting 02-24-2013 08:47 AM

Both are beautiful....# 1

GrannieAnnie 02-24-2013 08:54 AM

I prefer the second. Seems to show off the purples better. The green, while I love all your color choices, seems to be too prominent in the first.

aronel 02-24-2013 09:08 AM

My vote is also for number 1 - it seems to flow better..........

DebraK 02-24-2013 09:31 AM

number two.

isewman 02-24-2013 09:50 AM

I like BOTH of them. Take care

koigirl 02-24-2013 11:37 AM

I like #1 best. But both are gorgeous.

Jackie Spencer 02-24-2013 02:15 PM

Like the first one the best!

Shazeeda 02-24-2013 02:41 PM

#1 looks the best.

ailene 02-24-2013 06:34 PM

Both would be fine but number 1 is my favorite.

cdmmiracles 02-24-2013 06:46 PM

#1 , but both look good.

quiltsRfun 02-24-2013 07:07 PM

That's a hard decision. The first one looks like a butterfly but I like the second one too

kathdavis 02-24-2013 07:20 PM

#1 is unexpected and I love it.

BrendaK 02-24-2013 07:24 PM

Number 2 for me. BrendaK

quiltstringz 02-24-2013 07:36 PM

#1 - how ever will you decide

quiltjoey 02-24-2013 08:15 PM

The second one looks more like typical bargelloes to me. my eyes go to the white middle and then out to the edges of the quilt. Like a painting, it's better to bring ones eyes into the picture rather than bring them to the outside edges.

I like number one better, more unusual, light/airy and full of movement and the wings at the edges bring my eyes to the middle...

Mariposa 02-24-2013 08:17 PM

I vote for #1~ :)

chatonne40 02-25-2013 03:49 AM

both nice but prefer # 1 look like a butterfly :)

lizzy 02-25-2013 04:00 AM

I like the first one because it is different from the bargellos I think of. Love your colors.
