Which one do you like better?
 

Hi All,
Which top do you like better?? Appliques of butterflies and Flowers will be added.

They are both pretty but since you asked I like the first one better.

So do I.... Customer wanted the 2nd one. :)

first one........................................

Fine quilts. My preference is the first.

Both are pretty, but my preference is the first one

I believe the reason most of us seem to prefer the first one is because of the better contrast in value in it. Value is an important consideration in choosing our quilting colors usually. But perhaps the customer particularly wanted/needed a more muted, washed out look in her quilt. Neither is "wrong".

i like the second one

I agree with Jan.

I like the second one better.

The first one, because I'm more drawn to brights. But the second is quite soothing with its low contrast.

First one.

I like the second one. I'm one of those that does not like a lot of contrast, and really do not like a "pop" of color that designers are always saying you need. To me it often looks like something out of place LOL!!

The good part, I've yet to meet a quilt that someone didn't fall in love with, so they are ALL good :)

I like the bolder/brighter one but depends on the customer.

No preference...like both.

I like them both and at first leaned towards the 1st one but on 2nd look decided that since you will be adding applique I would have also chosen the 2nd one because it's muted and won't distract from the bolder flowers and butterflies. Can't wait to see the finished project...please share!

I think it would depend on the appliqué pieces

The second one. The appliques will show up better on these muted colors.

I like the first one best but both are pretty.

First one..

First one but I also am interested in seeing them both with the applique

First one.

Both are pretty - but I like the first one better.

i really love the first one

Both are wonderful but my eye is drawn to the first one. I like more saturated colors. And yes maybe the second one would be the better choice for adding applique. It is hard to say since the applique is not yet added.

1st one is my choice but they are both nice

I like the first one also. Please post when you get your appliqué done.

I like them both, but if I had to choose I would pick the first one.

Ditto, Jan.

I agree, #1 for me. Of course I would be thrilled to receive either one.

First quilt.

I like the first one best.

I love when folks ask this type of question. They are both very nice. It depends on who you are giving it to. I have one daughter who absolutely loves anything pastel, so I would give her the second one. Another daughter does not care for anything with pattern (?!?!), so she would get the solid one. And both of them would think they got the 'best' one - and they would both be right! If it is for yourself, lay them on a bed and each time you enter the room, which one does your eye go to first? That is the one you prefer.

I like the first. I think if you are going to add butterfly's and flowers the first one is the one I would chose for the background.

I really like both.

I like the colors in the first one better seems to stand out more

Second. It's more interesting for me to look at.

I vote for the first one but both are cute.

I do like the first one , bright colors :o
