colour choices for your Irish Chain
Both are nice but my vote is for #1 - I also do think you could try a different green. Maybe too many pastels??
IMHO |
I liked the second at first, but I think others are right, the second one gives a more washed out look and leaves the darker fabric standing out too much, so for that reason I would pick set #1

I like them both .I perfer the speckled one best ,it brings the darker color out of the flowers .Happy sewing
|
I like the first one better. The fabrics are beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished quilt. :)
|
I like the lighter pink because I think the pattern of the fabric blends better with your other fabric choices. In any event, it will be gorgeous!
|
I like the second choice
|
i would pick the first one.
|
I think the one with the speckles :)
|
I like number one better as well. Both will work however.
|
I like number two - it is softer and more feminine.
|
Lovely fabrics. I vote for the first one as the darker pink really picks up the pinks in the print. Good luck.
|
I like both groups but would use #1. Love your fabrics.
|
This is almost like being at the eye doctors! Which is better - one or two!!! (hee hee) But I'm going with the first one!
|
top one would be my pick
|
I go with #2
|
I can see why you are having difficulty - both fabrics are great. I would have to go with the first combo though. Good luck!
|
I like the 1st one, with the speckles. It gives more contrast. The other one just blends in and disappears.
|
Definitely lst choice!
|
I would go with the first choice, the speckled fabric seems to compliment the darkest purples in the main color.
|
I like the first purple, but I would choose a darker green. However, having personally asked for other's opinions before and not listened, it's your quilt and YOU have to like it! Do post as you go, or post the two sample blocks when you get them made.
|
I like the second where you show the two pieces only and the first when you show the piece of question with the other materials which in fact, are the same piece but could be identified as either one or two! Right or wrong? However, I agrees that either will be beautiful .... More a personal choice
|
I'd go with the first option - the dark speckles pull out the darker tones in the floral & work with the dark blender as well. It's going to be lovely!
|
I Like the first blend the best
|
Either one looks good, but I rather the 2nd one.
|
I like the first one better.
|
Number 2 picture.Colors are great.
|
What I would do is off the wall. When all else fails; I would cut small pieces of the first choice and glue them to a piece of copy paper. Do the same with the second choice on the same paper etc.. Make a copy of the fabrics and when you look at the new copy, pick the fabrics which have the most contrast. Medium, dark and lights show up better on the copy. When the eye is tricked, the copy never lies. I understand you did not ask about contrast, but it needs to be considered, also.

The first photo is the two fabrics in question. In the second and third photo, the rose fabric is not as harsh a colour as it looks, and will be used for the center of the chain. |
I love the floral but I really love floral fabrics :0) Just reading the first two pages of responses, it appears that the test blocks will give you the best 'feel' for what appeals to your eye. I personally like the softer blending of the second one, as it appears on my monitor.
|
Each will give a slightly different effect. Both will work and I understand your dilemma. Sorry I cannot choose.
|
I like the first one better. Please let us see the finished product.
|
I like the 1st choice. It has spark. Also it has the light,medium, dark aspect with the floral. Its gonna be abeauty whichever way you choose. Dont forget to post pics.
|
I am with Glenda. I also think the second choice looks less interesting.

1st Group
J J |
I like the 1st one. It just seems to bring out the darker colors in your floral fabric.
|
Either would look fine so what you choose will be which look you like best. I would probably choose the lighter one, but that's just me!
|
why not make em out of both ..I like em both !LOL
|
I vote for the first choice. I like the dark speckles.
|
I agree on the first one. It will be beautiful.
