Which of these do you like best? The quilt is for my new grand daughter expected in July. They look better without the lines in the sashing. That's just the way I had to draw them to get the design in EQ7 even though they probably won't be pieced that way. I just haven't figured out how to export the images without the lines.

So, which do you like best? They'll be made with a layer cake and yardage by Sandy Gervais galled Giddy.

If the grandchild was older I would say one and i think 2 is more a baby look, don't ask why because I don't know why.

I like that little thing you have going on with the first inner sashing on the first quilt, but I'm really not a fan (totally personal opinion) of a lot of white sashing.
So I'll pick the second, where the pieced sashing kills/dilutes the amount of white. ;)

I like them both, but am leaning toward the second one.

blossom808 03-18-2011 11:19 AM

I think I like NO:1 too.. The other one looks kinda busy. depends if you want the middle to show off more. then No;1 is it. if not then NO;2 is it.

#1

fabric lover 03-18-2011 11:21 AM

I'ld go for 1 too, nr. 2is too busy for my taste.
But I'm sure both will make lovely baby quilts.

PegD 03-18-2011 11:26 AM

How about #1 with some color just on the squares where the sashing meets?

darlin121 03-18-2011 11:27 AM

Number 1

I agree the first one just like it

Freddie 03-18-2011 11:40 AM

I like #1 the best.

fatquarters 03-18-2011 11:42 AM

Number 2 is my fav, gonna be a cute quilt either way

pocoellie 03-18-2011 12:22 PM

Personally, I like #2 but they're both very nice.

I agree, the first... :thumbup:

nycquilter 03-18-2011 12:58 PM

so, now that you've asked, you are still in a quandary! everyone has a different idea...good luck.

Mariposa 03-18-2011 01:02 PM

Both are nice! First one looks like it would take less time~

sidmona 03-18-2011 01:03 PM

#2. For some reason it looks more like a baby quilt to me, don't know why.

quilter1943 03-18-2011 01:03 PM

#2 looks a lot softer for a little girl.

bjchad 03-18-2011 01:12 PM

I like the color arrangment on two better but the pattern on one. I would do pattern 1 with more of the darker fabrics as in 2.

thequilterslink 03-18-2011 01:15 PM

I like #1 the best, like the thin sashing of color before the white.

Quilting Angel 03-18-2011 01:15 PM

I like the second one best.

SueDor 03-18-2011 01:48 PM

Okay I hope you will understand what I am going to say. I like number 1, but I am wondering what #2 would look like with out the sashing on the inside of each block, or for that matter the sashing on the outside of the smaller blocks. Just wondering and looking at all the possibilites.

kidmenot43 03-18-2011 01:55 PM

I like the first one only b/c it is less busy and simple. Either way it will depend on your preferences.

susie-susie-susie 03-18-2011 02:26 PM

I like #1, but I would put colored cornerstones to break up the sashing.

Same here!

fabric_fancy 03-18-2011 03:59 PM

i vote for 2

emerald46 03-18-2011 04:18 PM

Nbr 1 - the focus fabric will be more distinct imho!

ditto :P

juliea9967 03-18-2011 04:38 PM

I like them both. Can you do 2?

fabric whisperer 03-18-2011 04:40 PM

I like them both, but if I had to pick only ONE... I'd go with #2 and make the small cornerstones hit just right that they were floating in a sea of white. That sashing setting always looks so sweet to me for some reason :)

thenonnielady 03-19-2011 01:54 AM

I think Number 2 looks more appropriate for a little one.

Number 1 would look smashing displaying some killer asian prints.

Yooper32 03-19-2011 01:56 AM

I vote for #1.

Aurora 03-19-2011 02:00 AM

No. 1

teacherbailey 03-19-2011 02:50 AM

I like them both but if I were going to make one, it would be #2. Not sure why; my eye likes it better.

Moonglow 03-19-2011 03:03 AM

No. 2

MerryQuilter 03-19-2011 03:27 AM

I like 2 seems brighter.

quilter68 03-19-2011 03:42 AM

Number 1 because:to my eyes #2 is too busy.
