My favorite is the design of the quilt itself!!! That is spectacular in my mind. I am a devotee of carousels. I have traveled many miles many times to visit one in some far flung place. I have a room full of carousel themed things including a stained glass chandelier. The different color schemes above certainly evoke different moods and all are lovely. My personal favorite is the second one (reds) because those colors reflect the vibrant colors seen in most carousels. I will be anxious to see the finished project.

To me, more of the design shows up in Colorway A, but they are all great.

Fizzle 11-05-2016 06:40 AM

I am really liking C

Jordan 11-05-2016 06:48 AM

I really like B as it is much brighter and everything seems to "pop" with the red border. The second choice would be A-it just seems to be a little bit more subdued colors but both are very beautiful. Good luck on your decision

salederer 11-05-2016 06:51 AM

I like the first one best for sure.

sash 11-05-2016 07:29 AM

a or b; others seem a little washed out. beautiful.

red-warrior 11-05-2016 07:29 AM

All would work but I too like A best!

ha! You may be joking but now I am seriously thinking of doing A and B. I'm actually leaning towards A but my mom posted on fb how much she liked B. So might have to make one for a gift.

Kitsie 11-05-2016 08:06 AM

The first one really does it for me! Will be waiting to see pictures of your progress no matter which you choose!

klswift 11-05-2016 08:40 AM

They all have great reasons for you to choose them (a lot of help that is!). Who is it going to be given to? That would be the reason to pick one. What color do they lean towards? What color theme is their bedroom, house, clothing preference (this is quick way to figure their favorite colors). I personally think #3 would be great for a younger girl while #4 is a bit more 'formal' so perhaps for an older women. But #1 and #2 are beautiful also. You have a great eye for color. Please let us know which one you decide to go with.

I like B the best.

I'm wondering if I can get some help - which color scheme do you like best?

I like A first choice,B second choice.I like colors that are more bright.all are lovely though!

Carol34446 11-05-2016 09:10 AM

All are pretty, but A gives the most pop and contrast so it all shows off better. Love it. Can't wait to see it finished.

Jan in VA 11-05-2016 10:20 AM

Definitely A. What a great quilt!!

MaggieLou 11-05-2016 11:33 AM

I like B & D. B looks more like a traditional carousel.

MaryHB 11-05-2016 11:36 AM

I like A and B. Is this pattern available somewhere? Where can I find the SVG files?

Clmay 11-05-2016 11:52 AM

If my pick counts, I would do the one in red. It makes the details stand out. I love them all. But I vote for B.

If C had a dark border with lighter ribbon, it'd be my fave. I actually love all of them, as each color scheme evokes a different feeling. The red and green could be Yuletide themed.
Matter of fact, what about marketing all 4? Buyer chooses which they want to purchase and make. Maybe tweak them a bit (if you think any need it) to represent the 4 seasons.
I mean it's just 4 times the work...lol.
They really are beautiful!

janjanq 11-05-2016 01:40 PM

I like A and D but I would have a hard time choosing cuz I love them all!

gmcsewer 11-05-2016 01:52 PM

To me it would depend where I was going to use it or to whom I was giving it. I now have a turquoise and brown quilt in the making and don't know where I can put it. But I do like the first one because all the colors are so intense.

susie-susie-susie 11-05-2016 02:32 PM

I like D the most. It really caught my eye. It is going to be a beautiful quilt.

SueJ 11-05-2016 03:32 PM

I think B really stands out at least to me.

needles3thread 11-05-2016 03:40 PM

I like B best.

zozee 11-05-2016 03:41 PM

I say A , although I looked at each one carefully a few times.

It is modern and each motif shows up well against its background.

ccthomas 11-05-2016 05:36 PM

i like A and B.

Bjbaxter 11-05-2016 06:30 PM

I like A and D, but it's really about what YOU like!

stormwater 11-05-2016 06:44 PM

A
and you're right, it's masculine...but what's wrong with that?

But your Mom was right too, B looks good.

liking quilting 11-06-2016 01:34 AM

The first one is my preference.

Taughtby Grandma 11-06-2016 02:44 AM

The first one is bold, the second one is Christmasy, but I feel the last two looks washed out to me.

Moonglow 11-06-2016 02:54 AM

B - I like the addition of red.

jmoore 11-06-2016 04:08 AM

I think the horses, carousel and decorations are more prominent in colors in A & B

sinceresissy 11-06-2016 04:55 AM

I like A the best. It stands out to me and seems clear or something. You know we are all going to have our own personal choices so you will still have to decide what you like best. Haha! It's all up to you, Uncle.

momsbusy 11-06-2016 05:59 AM

I choose B. The bright colors seem more like the carousels that I've seen. The other combinations are lovely and would work better in my home, but the bright cheery colors bring on the excitement and make me hear the calliope.

Jane Quilter 11-06-2016 06:02 AM

I like A....has most contrast.

annette1952 11-06-2016 06:33 AM

I love the first one. The colors are just so pretty to me. The others are nice too but the first is my pick.

Yooper32 11-06-2016 06:37 AM

A, best of all and if not that then D. A shows more movement and clarity, to my poor eyesight.

quiltqueen61 11-06-2016 01:35 PM

I love the colors in the first one.....beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

butter14562 11-06-2016 02:09 PM

I like b the red one

Maire 11-06-2016 02:33 PM

B for sure-would go well with my living room furniture

cpcarolyn 11-06-2016 03:27 PM

I like the first one.
