I am making a queen-size quilt for my niece as a wedding gift. It will be the same colors of her bridle party, which are purple, teal, and yellow.

I will be using Rhonda's Clara Dugout Blocks to make the blocks that I need for the quilt. But not figured out which one to use yet or whether to use sashing between the blocks, and what color of fabric. I also need to figure out which one of the colors of fabric that are in the block to use as the boarder.

Here are three different blocks that I made up on my EQ 6 program. Can you tell me which block you like the best.

Here are three block using the three different colors:

2 or 3.

iclenott 07-19-2011 04:34 AM

I vote for 3 also

Bonbonary 07-19-2011 04:43 AM

IMO too much yellow in #1

cjomomma 07-19-2011 04:43 AM

I vote for #1! That's because I love yellow. :-)

Here's my vote for #1. I like yellow, and that one seems so happy and sunny.

#1

ckcowl 07-19-2011 04:53 AM

i like # 1 best- the contrast with the yellow placement adds spark and is a more balanced design (in mho)

mommamac 07-19-2011 04:59 AM

the colors seem to flow better in block #3

yolanda 07-19-2011 04:59 AM

I like #3

sisLH 07-19-2011 05:01 AM

i is yellow, 2 is teal, I vote for 3 which seems in equal amts.

mom-6 07-19-2011 05:03 AM

Are you wanting the blues or the yellow to be predominant? The yellow is dominant in #1 and the blues in #3. #2 just seems choppy to me. My personal choice is #3 because I like the calm blues with the yellow accent to spice things up.

Carrie Jo 07-19-2011 05:15 AM

I agree #3

Gatormom3 07-19-2011 05:19 AM

My first choice would be #3 - #1 would be a second choice.

Annie68 07-19-2011 05:32 AM

Number one, with a one inch light blue border then a larger border with the leaf fabric.

It's between 1 and 3. Love both of them.

sewmanyideas 07-19-2011 06:03 AM

3 for me!

kathdavis 07-19-2011 06:34 AM

#1 is my favorite

dakotamaid 07-19-2011 06:58 AM

#3, yellow is an awfully strong color unless you absolutely love it.:) Good balance in #3.

sewmuchmore 07-19-2011 07:50 AM

block #2

DebsShelties 07-19-2011 07:55 AM

1 and 3

mltquilt 07-19-2011 08:05 AM

#3 looks great to me.

I'm going against the majority and choosing #2. For me, in a whole quilt, #1 and #3 would be too much yellow and too bright. I think the yellow accent in #2 is just right. I would use both blues for borders, a 2 or 3 inch dark blue and a wider light blue.

I agree. #3 gets my vote too. :-D

blossom808 07-19-2011 08:35 AM

I vote for 1

bearisgray 07-19-2011 08:36 AM

I would like to see four blocks together - better yet 9 of them in a 3 x 3 setting -

then one can see what it will look like when the secondary design(s) emerge

Then it would be easier for me to decide.

f rogers 07-19-2011 08:36 AM

like them all but I think three is more balance with th yellow but what do I know

BrendaK 07-19-2011 08:41 AM

Wonder what the blocks would look like with the light blue in the corners? I like #2. BrendaK

Jim's Gem 07-19-2011 11:54 AM

I vote for #3

belmer 07-19-2011 11:57 AM

I like number 3 the most. it gives the block a little more balance.

Kas 07-19-2011 12:02 PM

I also think #3 is the best balanced. Then #2.

lheartsl 07-19-2011 12:03 PM

i am liking number 2

Greenheron 07-19-2011 12:04 PM

Number 1

Mazda 07-19-2011 12:05 PM
