Okay, thought I had it all figured out but now I am not so sure! I laid the blocks out with the pinwheels, but hubby says it was too busy and i didn't have something right. I seen the pattern of the yellow and purple pinwheels but all he seen was the odd pattern in between. Make sense? Don't know if he doesn't have a quilter eye or if it really looks odd. I laid it out another way too. He liked it better but said either one was okay. So now what does everyone think on these two patterns. I promise this is the last time I will bug you all....lol. Just want to make a nice looking blankie for the baby.

Like them both but if I had a favorite it would be the top one with double pinwheels.
:thumbup: Great job! |
My vote is for the second layout. I think the pattern is Jacob's ladder.
|
I like both, but prefer the top.
I don't know what it is that your hubby is seeing, unless he is seeing like a "cross" shape in the blocks instead of the pinwheel. I can see that too, but that is what makes it unique! I like it! |
I like the pin wheels all that beautiful color :-) :D :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
I like the bright cheeriness of the stars, but i also like the optical illusion quality of the 4 designs I see in it. The second one is nice also :D
|
I've a preference for the pinwheels, too. It's very playful-looking, while the Jacob's Ladder is less so. Just my thoughts! I think you did a wonderful job choosing your colors and fabric. It'll be a very special baby quilt either way.
|
Toni, I like the pin wheels too. It is amazing how many designs you can make with the blocks.
|
I really like them both,but if I have to choose............eeny meeny miney
moe I choose the second one! Great job! |
I like the pinwheels.
|
I prefer the second one, but that's just what is "personal preference". You can't go wrong with these two layouts. It's just an individual decision. You've done a great job! So which one do you like best? It's your creation, after all. Trust in yourself!

I really like your colour scheme and that cute novelty fabric :thumbup: . I think either layout is gonna look lovely, the first gives movement in your quilt and the second gives a smooth line which draws the eye across the quilt. Go for the effect you like best :P . That's gonna be one lucky baby to get that quilt
|
Ohhh I'm really diggin the second one toni!!! I liked the first one...but LOVE the second one!!!
Looking at the first one...I see a nine patch with half triangles first (is that what your hubby saw?)...then i see the star. It looks great...but I'm sticking with the second one as my favorite. |
Both are great, but I think I prefer the second one. However, I am not a baby (at least about most things), and I think the first one has a lot of movement, which a young child might like. It's up to you--this is your creation, so do what YOU like!
|
Like everyone else, they are both great, but the pinwheel is my favorite!
PS You're not bugging us! This is what we're here for!!!!!!!! |
Both are wonderful, but I prefer the pinwheels - first I saw the blue ones, then when I went back to it, I saw the yellow ones! fun - fun - fun! :D
|
Toni, I love both quilts, both have there own special qualities, so just go for it. The colours are great, be proud of it. Ellie
|
I like the pinwheels. The blue pinwheels calm down the cneter block. Looks good to me!
|
#2...............I just like the look..........either way its going to be cute. :D
|
i like them both, too. the "something wrong" with #1 is that you laid out two of the triangles upside down (last one, right end, rows 1 and 3 from the top.) took me forever to figure it out.
i would probably do #2, then make #1 using two different "busy" fabrics for the pinwheels. BUT your version of #1 is the better of the two. fascinating, in fact, since it does turn into several different quilts depending on where your eye starts. #2 is just one quilt. why make one when you can make three or four in one? :wink: :lol: :lol: |
I love them both. if you choose the pinwheels, quilt around the pinwheels to help them stand out. They both look GREAT! It is a hard choice. Bernadette
|
I like the pinwheels/stars layout best - personal preference only. It's like and optical illusion. The other one is more organized. Would it help to make the square that isn't a center of the star a different color to help the eye be more organized?
|
For another male perspective...hubby o'mine liked the pinwheels best. He saw pinwheels right off the bat, so I guess it wasn't just male vision thing after all LOL
|
Both look great and babies love color so its a hit both ways.
|
I think the first one reminds me of the friendship star, rather than pinwheels. I love the movement, too.
But I like the symmetry of the second better. My opinion is worth what you pay for it, nothing! Do what makes YOU happy, it's YOUR quilt. purple |

I agree. I like both, but I like the pinwheels better for the optical illusion quality. :D But go with what you think is best. |
Please don't stop "bugging" us! :D
They are both great! GREAT! I like the first one best. Which one do YOU like best?????? |
I went back and looked again. Now, I don't know which one I like best.....
|
I really like both. I do not know what hubby saw, I saw pinwheels and they were beautiful. I would do the second, as I like that for myself, but wish I had the courage to do the first one. They are beautiful, do what makes you happy, they are really good. :P
|
I like them both but the first one I think will be more appealing to a kiddy!! But as everyone says, the ultimate choice is yours!!! :D Just do what pleases you, you have to enjoy making it too!!!! :lol:
|
I think the first one looks more like a baby quilt and will catch and keep the baby's attention. I vote for the first one.

Both are great, personal opinion I prefer the second. I think I was like your husband I didn't see the pinwheels on the 1st one until I looked for them.
I have some cute airplane charm squares that I now know what I am gonna do with them. Thanks for the idea :-) |
I LOVE the second layout. . . talk about precision. . Good job!
|
I like the quilt but my eye went directly to the center square and it took me a moment to see the pinwheel itself, sorry.
|
I like #2 but that's just me. They both look great. I liked the linear pattern w/ #2.

I like the second one best! However, they are both nice!
|
I'm for the second one too.
|
I like the pinwheels...more fun.
|
I love the first picture. Looks cool.
