I'm not sure which way I like better. Opinions please!


Option 1. This has the 'darks' going the same way.

Option 2. This has the 'lights' and 'darks' making rows.

I like the first option with the darks all going the same way.

I like option 2. The rows are nicely defined with contrast.

I would need the picture back further. Its to hard that close :D

The second one will give you a striped effect. I guess it depends on what you are looking for. I agree with Ruth can we see one from further back.

My area is pretty small. I will see what I can do tonight.

Tough one... Think I like option #1.

Can't wait to see the finished project.

I like option #2, I like the contrast and the striped effect.

#2. Scrappy is good, especially when there's a little pattern to it.

Option 2 is my opinion!

I like #2 :wink:

I'm not sure. How are you going to quilt it? I am kinda leaning to the strip effect.

I like number two but to be sure I would like to see a picture further away.

What I really want to do is a coffee cup panto. 8) But what I will probably end up with is a meander. :-) I think with black thread.

I would make the stripes or strips laid out looking like a diamond...
Then do a coffee cup pantograph in the center...
Quilting swirls like steam rising from the cups...
Oh well, just my 2 stitches...

The coffee cup panto would look good with those colors. :-) Either way you lay it out it will be really cute.

Here is the layout back a little bit.

I like the triangles better :)

I like your 2 stitches. Only not sure how to do it.

After seeing the second set of pics I'm less sure than I was at first. I lean toward the stripes. Black quilting would be dynomite!!! Either way, a lovely quilt. I would be proud to call it my own.

I like the stripes.

I like the 1st pic, it's easier on my eyes.

Boy I don't really know. They are so different. Isn't it funny what a difference it makes. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

I like the stripes, but I think the suggestion about making diamonds with the darks might be just the right touch.

Like #1 the best.

I like the 2nd one the best.

I like 1736b the best.

To see what the diamond pattern looks like go to www.pbtex.com and look at the Swirl pattern. It is a free download.

I like the second one the best but I would switch (not sure where) on the left side of picutre second row down i would move those somewhere else but I'm not sure where. I love how it's coming along and can't wait to see it completed.

Same here

With the new pictures I have changed my mind.

I like the triangles better.

my husband says he likes the stripe better. Says it's less random, more planned.

Linda

i agree that there are more than 2 ways to lay them out and diamonds or squares should be considered. how light are the lights? how dark are the darks? think of all the log cabin designs. you can get all those effects with triangles, after all. if you are only deciding among those two options i vote for #1. i think that's sharper looking. my 5 cents.


stop confusing me! you changed pics when i wasn't looking. with the new pics i like the diamonds better.
now it's #2.

Well, after taking count....its about 50/50! I thought I would get a big winner on which way. Hmmmm This weekend I will see about doing the diamond layout and see what it looks like. Thanks for all the help!
