The second, (alternating) one for me

barnbum 04-05-2016 02:25 PM

Interesting! QB results: 19 for lined up, 13 for dancing. From a fb group: 12 for lined up, 22 for dancing.

I like the lined up ones, but I loved the dancing blocks in a pattern--so bought it. Thought for sure I'd like that one better.
Thanks for the replies!

My friend at school said the exact same thing. :-)

Dancing blocks!

It's dancing for me

I like the first one better. At first I didn't even realize the second one was "dancing". It just seems like the first ones color placement is more pleasing and maybe because it is linear. I love modern quilts but since the prints are so active, I think the linear placement is more pleasing and shows them off better. Let us know what you decide.

I agree with you

twinkie 04-06-2016 03:39 AM

I also like the first one.

Conartist1945 04-06-2016 04:25 AM

I like the first one better. My hang up is I don't like wonky or off balance. It's one of my idiosyncrasies.

quiltmama22 04-06-2016 04:30 AM

Dancing! To me its more interesting.

LindaJ 04-06-2016 04:31 AM

1st but it is your choice

donnajean 04-06-2016 04:33 AM

I vote for Dancing

KimmerB 04-06-2016 04:34 AM

Both are pretty and I would buy either but I would lean to the dancing one.

Gail B 04-06-2016 04:40 AM

I prefer the dancing layout.

just_the_scraps_m'am 04-06-2016 04:45 AM

definitely the first one, there is so much movement in the second it makes me gasp....LOL

paoberle 04-06-2016 04:48 AM

I like Lined Up best.

coffeegirl 04-06-2016 04:48 AM

Lined up for me!

LavenderBlue 04-06-2016 05:17 AM

I vote for the dancing version. ;-)

Jennifer23 04-06-2016 05:54 AM

I prefer the dancing one.

Yooper32 04-06-2016 06:06 AM

I like the first one. Like the second too, but it plays bad on my brain, or my eyes, not sure which.

carolynjo 04-06-2016 06:10 AM

I like the dancing arrangement.

trolleystation 04-06-2016 06:16 AM

Dancing does it for me.

amyjo 04-06-2016 06:32 AM

I like them both. Maybe use different fabric in each, but would definitely do both.

Veinurse 04-06-2016 06:48 AM

First one, I'm not dancing today.

Luv Quilts and Cats 04-06-2016 07:18 AM

I like Dancing the best.

kacie 04-06-2016 07:25 AM

I like the dancing slightly more, but I think I'd like it even better with an odd number of rows and columns. Right now it feels a bit like the rows are drooping.

sailsablazin 04-06-2016 09:11 AM

I like the Dancing Blocks...a little more lively and more spontaneous.

donnalbaldwin 04-06-2016 09:43 AM

I like the first...but you could go with your gut......but.....when my husband and cannot agree we flip a quarter....nice job you have done

arenard 04-06-2016 11:44 AM

A. Lined up blocks. B. Dancing blocks.

Dancing blocks. has more movement

darlin 04-06-2016 12:43 PM

odd man out I like both

MargeD 04-06-2016 12:53 PM

They are both nice, I just prefer the first one, but I'm sure you'll have plenty of opinions for both.

That's a very insightful observation! I never thought of it. Totally agree! I think it'd even look cool as a single row...a long single row of no less than 5--7 better.

barnbum 04-06-2016 01:00 PM

I think it looks like I'll be making some of both. lol I so appreciate you taking the time to reply! I got a giggle out of many. :-)

cashs_mom 04-06-2016 01:29 PM

I prefer the non-dancing

Karen Mc 04-06-2016 04:47 PM

I like both but the dancing are more unusual.

quiltykiwi 04-06-2016 08:47 PM

I prefer the lined up one, the eye gets distracted in the other.

omaluvs2quilt 04-07-2016 09:26 AM

Hmmmm...I'm pretty OCD/ODC and I love the off set one better!

needles3thread 04-07-2016 12:24 PM

dancing blocks

Cybrarian 04-07-2016 03:41 PM

If you have the time & material to make 2, you might consider making one of each to see which one appeals most to your target audience. I like the first one myself.

I'll most likely be making at least 10--and I'll make some of both and smaller ones too.
