Opinions Please

I am starting on a quilt for a wedding present in May. I have a beautiful burgandy floral tonal fabric with touches of gold. I have a nice gold color from the Mirage Collection from Connecting threads. So I have worked out a variation of the OhMyGosh quilt - 2" sqs instead of 1" sqs - and turning into a two color quilt.

So I need an opinion - Option #1 or Option #2?

Option #1

Option #2

Thanks for your input. :D

I love #2. I see more of the color. It seems more enclosed. Either one will be gorgeous.

Love #2. I just finished a snails trail in red and white. Two color quilts are so awesome.

I, also, like #2 better. If it's going to be red and white, make it RED and white. (my opinion)

Gee...both look wonderful but if I had to choose just one it would be #2. But either will be a beautiful quilt!!

Deb watkins 01-22-2014 12:47 PM

I am opting for #2 also.

MamaBear61 01-22-2014 12:49 PM

I like #2 too.

jrhboxers 01-22-2014 12:52 PM

Thanks for the input. That is where I was leaning anyway. Wanted to know other opinions. I thought that maybe I had looked at it too long.

CyndyK 01-22-2014 01:08 PM

I vote for #2.

Annie68 01-22-2014 01:13 PM

Put me down for #2.

justflyingin 01-22-2014 01:14 PM

#2 gets my vote.

aeble 01-22-2014 01:20 PM

I guess I'm the odd one out. I like number 1 better.

Onebyone 01-22-2014 01:26 PM

The only question is do you like the color and want to see more of it or less.

Jingle 01-22-2014 01:40 PM

I like both. Your quilt your choice.

Me too I can see some great quilting that could happen on that one. But they are both beautiful and I would be happy to accept either one as a gift. :-)

This will be a wonderful quilt. #1 looks airy to me and #2 more grounded. I like them both. BrendaK

Susann 01-22-2014 01:54 PM

I love red quilts so it's #2 for my vote.

MaureenT 01-22-2014 02:07 PM

I also vote #2!

Ranchwife 01-22-2014 03:19 PM

If the main color has a little of the gold, then the gold should be the accent color which lends itself to quilt 2.

Likethedog 01-22-2014 03:22 PM

I'm a 2, too.

tessagin 01-22-2014 03:24 PM

Like both. Hard to choose. Thinking #2 more sew.

Nanax4 01-22-2014 03:25 PM

When it's red/white I like #1 better. But if it's red/gold I think #1 would be too heavy on the gold. #2 gives the emphasis to your print. #2 it is, for me.

I agree with Nanax4!

Quilter 65 01-22-2014 03:59 PM

They are both beautiful. #1 looks light and airy to me while #2 looks elegant and rich. So I think it depends on which look you are wanting. I would be ecstatic with either one.

susie-susie-susie 01-22-2014 04:01 PM

I like #2. I think it shows the secondary pattern better.

I like #2 best, but I think anyone would love whichever one you decide to make.

Jim 01-22-2014 04:40 PM

#2 gets my vote as well...seems more appealing to the eye

CherryPie 01-22-2014 04:42 PM

I vote for #2

pattilynn 01-22-2014 06:07 PM

I like option #2

laurafet 01-22-2014 06:18 PM

Tough choice. Love them both.

0tis 01-22-2014 06:30 PM

I really like #2

sewwhat85 01-22-2014 07:09 PM

i like one

Central Ohio Quilter 01-22-2014 09:05 PM

I also say #2! The first one seems too sparse on color compared to the second one.

rebeljane 01-22-2014 09:34 PM

I like 2 as well but then I love red so the more the better

Maureen NJ 01-23-2014 03:11 AM

Personally, I like 1 better, probably because of the brightness of it. That said, I am not a gold person so I would want to see less of that so 2 looks like the fabrics would be used more equally.

Maureen NJ 01-23-2014 03:14 AM

Just another thought. What if on option 1 you used the burgundy floral where the white is and the gold where the red is. I wonder what that would look like?

SueDor 01-23-2014 03:18 AM

I vote for number 2 also.

quilter2theend 01-23-2014 03:49 AM

Sorry but I like #1 I think #2 is too busy.

petpainter 01-23-2014 04:09 AM

It looks like hands down for #2!

msrosecooks 01-23-2014 04:10 AM

# 2 .Much bolder color!
