2 Attachment(s)
my neighbor gave me her summer dresses to use in my quilting. it is all cut up and made into strips. I have added some green, yellow and purple, but now I am not sure if I should use the purple blocks.

would love your opinion
thanks

Yes ! Yes ! Purple looks great in the coins. What color will you use between the coins ? Keep at it. Love it. Hugs too.

TerryQuilter 05-14-2014 07:18 AM

Yes, use the purple...it makes it pop more.

Billi 05-14-2014 07:20 AM

First picture I thought that's pretty it's happy and pops, I like it....then I saw it without the purple very sophisticated and elegant the colors blend beautifully. I guess it depends on what your looking for me, I would go without the purple.

If you're trying to have a pop of color, the purple for sure! I honestly can't think of a reason why to go with the second because I like the purple one so much!

BrendaK 05-14-2014 07:31 AM

I am no help here as I really like both of them. I do love purple. Just wanted to let you know that I think it will be a very pretty quilt. Can't wait until you show us the finished quilt. BrendaK

I like the purple in the quilt.

Treasureit 05-14-2014 07:38 AM

Why do I always pick the one no one else likes???? Anyway I like #2

Grandma Bonnie 05-14-2014 07:49 AM

I like them both, but I like the one with the purple more!!

Lady Jane 05-14-2014 07:49 AM

The purple really sets it off !

fxsts93kf 05-14-2014 08:36 AM

Both are pretty but I love the pop of purple too!

SouthPStitches 05-14-2014 08:39 AM

Absolutely the purple. Are you placing vertical strips in between each set of coins and if so, what color are you using?

nena 05-14-2014 08:43 AM

Love the purple. Just adds interest.

QuiltnNan 05-14-2014 08:59 AM

i like the occasional purple.

CorgiNole 05-14-2014 09:01 AM

I like the purple. It adds some fun color pops.

Cheers, K

klgls 05-14-2014 09:15 AM

Oh geez - I like them both too - but I lean toward #2 - it has a very cool and soothing look.

feline fanatic 05-14-2014 10:31 AM

Teal is my favorite color so I vote #2 with no purple.

patsynel 05-14-2014 10:34 AM

Yes, please use the purple.

quiltsRfun 05-14-2014 10:43 AM

I like it without the purple.

serenitybygrace 05-14-2014 10:45 AM

I really like the purple in the quilt. It is beautiful either way but the purple really adds to it.

HouseDragon 05-14-2014 11:42 AM

The purple pops! My eyes glazed over looking at number two.

But then I love purple. :D

toverly 05-14-2014 11:55 AM

Definitely the Purple!

LavenderBlue 05-14-2014 12:00 PM

To me, the purple really makes it!

ManiacQuilter2 05-14-2014 12:05 PM

I really prefer the second picture so tranquil, soft and soothing. Go with what you feel confident with. Either way, you will have a very pretty quilt.

quilt addict 05-14-2014 12:10 PM

Either one is lovely just a different feel, one more monochromatic calmer and the other brighter with the pops of purple. I like them both. If you are going to put strips inbetween that can really change the look too so would maybe audition both with those inlcuded.

Quiltngolfer 05-14-2014 12:13 PM

I like the one with the purple. It does give it a pop.

barny 05-14-2014 12:19 PM

Yes, the purple looks really good.

Kitsie 05-14-2014 12:32 PM

I like the purple in there. Gives a "pop".

Kitsie 05-14-2014 12:34 PM

I like the purple in there. Gives a "pop". Looks like we all agree on the "popping" effect!

dunster 05-14-2014 06:51 PM

I really like it with the purple. But it's hard to say when the strips are separated by your lovely floor. Will there be another fabric in there, or will the strips go together? That might influence the decision.

cmierley 05-15-2014 02:20 AM

I like it with the purple. I made a coin quilt also. Everybody lived it.

mimi=17 05-15-2014 02:23 AM

# 1 Beautiful.

citruscountyquilter 05-15-2014 02:47 AM

Purple adds sparkle and energy to the quilt. I'd leave it in.

cpower 05-15-2014 03:32 AM

I like the purple, too! Although both are very pretty!

illinois 05-15-2014 03:33 AM

Don't know what you intend to use for the sashing but I think I'd like #2 with the purple used for sashing. In #1 the purple seems to overpower the other more subtle colors. My opinion.

youngduncan 05-15-2014 03:53 AM

Put the purple in! A little pop of color adds so much to your quilt.

LGJARN52 05-15-2014 04:19 AM

Keep the purple!!! Looks great.

zennia 05-15-2014 04:21 AM

another vote for the purple here.

coopah 05-15-2014 04:33 AM

Definitely. Otherwise it's too monochromatic/ho hum. IMHO

quiltbug60 05-15-2014 05:07 AM

I think the purple helps bring all the colors together.
