Can't decide on colour...
 
3 Attachment(s)
I'm working on a zipper bible cover and made a tiny log-cabin cross for the front (3.5 x 5''). However, I can't decide on what colour to use for the main fabric that will cover the bible. These are 3 ideas I have material in my stash for (incl. zipper and bias tape):

What's your vote? Red, brown or green? Thanks for your help!

mine would be the brown.. i like to see the bible cover when you finished..:)

mike'sgirl 07-06-2015 07:25 AM

I like the burgundy.

joe'smom 07-06-2015 07:32 AM

I like the red very much. (My bible has a dark red leather cover, so it strikes me as kind of traditional.)

Brown looks more manly, while the green is neutral. I can't see using the cross you made with the red, so my vote is for the green.

sorry I can not decide either, even after reading all the votes so far...i would say use what you prefer...after you look at it for a day or so you will know ;)

Green. Green signifies "New Life". Red is my favorite color but Green is my favorite dolor to live with because it feels fresh and new

I like the red. It brings out the cross. The colors together remind me of Christmas, The Birth. The red reminds me of The Blood. The brown and green seem to wash out the colors in the cross. IMHO

lynnie 07-06-2015 08:27 AM

love your little cross, i'd like it in red.

marilynr 07-06-2015 08:40 AM

I vote for red first, green second. Your cross is beautiful.

ManiacQuilter2 07-06-2015 08:44 AM

I vote for either the green or the brown.

Monale 07-06-2015 08:45 AM

Thanks for your help so far! I think brown is "out" - I'm still undecided between red and green... Maybe I should sleep over it and decide tomorrow?

MarLeClair 07-06-2015 08:51 AM

I like the green, next choice would be brown.

bearisgray 07-06-2015 08:52 AM

Your cross is beautiful!

I think I like the green the best.

thimblebug6000 07-06-2015 12:07 PM

The green is very classic looking and would be gender neutral. because there is no red in your cross I wouldn't use it unless it was the only fabric I had.

tapper 07-06-2015 01:42 PM

I vote for green.

faykilgore 07-06-2015 01:53 PM

I like the green, but the brown is good. Obviously whatever you do, someone will love it!

#1piecemaker 07-06-2015 01:57 PM

I like the red!

AnnEliz 07-06-2015 02:50 PM

Green is best--my favorite color, my eyes always go to the greens.

Bree123 07-06-2015 04:03 PM

I love the red (and it's very apropos with a cross), but the green is a really close second.

Anniedeb 07-06-2015 07:34 PM

I am partial to the green. I love your cross. It will be beautiful no matter what color you choose!

juneayerza 07-06-2015 07:39 PM

red first, then the green. By the way, it looks very nice.

Feathers-N-Fur 07-06-2015 07:40 PM

I vote for red. It makes your design pop.

Marley46 07-06-2015 07:46 PM

I like the red!!

Melanie Rudy 07-06-2015 07:59 PM

I like the brown.

DOTTYMO 07-06-2015 09:48 PM

Burgundy looks cheerful and uplifting. Next would be green with brown last.

quiltingcandy 07-06-2015 10:09 PM

I like the green first, then the brown.

cannyquilter 07-07-2015 12:19 AM

I like the brown.

ruby2shoes 07-07-2015 02:44 AM

Green, then red, then brown. Lovely cross.

I feel the same way as AnnEliz. My favorite go to color is green.

glorcour 07-07-2015 03:15 AM

definitely RED

paoberle 07-07-2015 03:20 AM

I like the brown. Which one do you keep going back to when you look at them? That's the one to choose.

Jeanne S 07-07-2015 03:30 AM

All three are lovely, as is your cross! The red is my favorite.

Taughtby Grandma 07-07-2015 03:36 AM

The red really sets the block off and the green compliments it. I've narrowed it down to 2 for you. haha

angelarose 07-07-2015 03:50 AM

Lovely work! I love the green, it's peaceful and calming yet colorful enough to make it all work.

Jean in Ohio13452 07-07-2015 03:57 AM

Red is my vote, I agree with others who like Red above... Nice Work and A Great Project...

BrendaK 07-07-2015 03:59 AM

Well shoot. I first went to the green. Looked again then kept going back to the other colors. They are all lovely. Whatever you use will be super. Can you do one in each color? The cross is beautiful. Be sure to show us when you are finished. Did you have a pattern for the cover? I would love to do one for a special friend. BrendaK

nancyw 07-07-2015 04:02 AM

I vote for green.

LGJARN52 07-07-2015 04:02 AM

Red or Green...the brown makes it kinda dull if you ask me. Red or green just makes the actual cross stand out more.
