#1 because it's an analogous color scheme (they touch on the color wheel) that reflects unity with just enough neutral beige to balance it out and keep it from being boring. The colors are mostly warm (red, orange, yellow, brown and beige) with a splash of cool green to freshen it up yet calm it down.

#1 & #4 for sure are my favs. #1 is traditional leaf colors, while #4, by adding that little bit of the blue makes everything else pop.

montanablu 07-25-2010 01:25 PM

I like Marcia's suggestion about the purple --she's right, it makes a great addition to fall colors!

I agree. I really like the depth of #3.

Number 2 catches my eye the most. :)

leaha 07-25-2010 01:41 PM

# 2 for sure for me. nice contrast and gives it depth

Farmer Girl 07-25-2010 01:46 PM

Love #3. The blues in the background almost give it a stained glass effect.

doloresbeger 07-26-2010 02:29 AM

I like #4 I think it has more depth to it.

damaquilts 07-26-2010 02:36 AM

#3 and #1 . 1 looks like fall but 3 looks like fall with the fall skies. There is nothing quite like the blue skies in fall.

I vote for #1--I would use multiple different fabrics for all the leaves--all in fall colors. Of course I do like scrap quilts and have a large stash of scraps.
In #3, I find the blues distracting. When you actually do the quilt I hope you will share a photo. Its a beautiful pattern.

I agree with BB like num. 2

dream56 07-26-2010 03:43 AM

#1 & #4 for me

fireworkslover 07-26-2010 03:46 AM

I like #3 the best. It reminds me of a glorious fall day when the maples have turned their orangeypink colors and it's sunny and the sky is blue, with no clouds...

quiltingfan 07-26-2010 04:00 AM

3 for me

denilynne 07-26-2010 04:00 AM

I like number 1

Rainy Day 07-26-2010 04:02 AM

#2 - it looks like autumn day with clear skies, cold weather, and says snuggly to me.

These are all beautiful - but i like both three and four. :P

quiltingranny 07-26-2010 04:51 AM

They are all beautiful but I'm drawn to #1 and #4.

matraina 07-26-2010 04:58 AM

They are all pretty but I like No. 1 best.

foxxigrani 07-26-2010 05:03 AM

I agree #1 is the best, #4 takes your eye away from the middle and puts in on the sashing, no pattern, but I like all but 4. I am sure you are going to get many different answers but they all seem to agree about 4. Hope this helps,

Rita

Karen's Kreations 07-26-2010 05:06 AM

I like #1 best, with #4 a close second.
Love the pattern.

makacy 07-26-2010 05:06 AM

I like #1 and #3

ajw 07-26-2010 05:11 AM

All of the selections are beautiful, but I LOVE #2 - looks very rich...love the way the blue "pops".

Honey 07-26-2010 05:15 AM

I like #3 it just really draws my eye.

Lynnejean 07-26-2010 05:20 AM

I like #3 because it shows all the design elements in the quilt better than the others. Of course I am partial to blue. :-)

MamaNan 07-26-2010 05:23 AM

My choice is definitely #1.

kristen0112 07-26-2010 05:27 AM

I really like #4. If you're wanting to add blues I would do that one. I just read through many of the comments. When I reviewed them again. I still like 4. I love that it has blue, green and yellow in it. It reminds me of a warm fall day. My eye kept traveling around all the blocks looking at the different colors. The one color looked on the burgundy side of brown I liked that as well. I hope you keep us posted on your choice and the finished project.

Tinabodina 07-26-2010 05:27 AM

I vote for #1 - colors are awsome. :thumbup:

steelecg 07-26-2010 05:32 AM

I like #2 and then #1

mrsbushley 07-26-2010 05:38 AM

My first choice is #1 (maybe because it goes so well with my living room)

My second choice is #2 because the blue is surrounded by a very soft and light color.

#3 seems too bright on the blue to be a true fall-like quilt(to me anyway).

#4 looks too busy with the higher contrast in colors

quiltincharlotte 07-26-2010 05:42 AM

I love the way you incorporated the blues in the last one, but they are ALL really great!! Looks like a really intricate pattern! Show us how it goes, as you do it, okay? Would love to see it.

daisydell 07-26-2010 05:53 AM

I would vote for # 1. The green just seems to go with the fall feeling. I too love fall colors. Thanks also for posting where to find the pattern.

MarthaT 07-26-2010 06:07 AM

I like the green in #1. On all of them the leaves don't seem to pop out enough and they are your focal point. Maybe the sashings should be more contrasting to the leaves.

vickimc 07-26-2010 06:11 AM

I vote #1

grannypat7925 07-26-2010 06:11 AM

My sentiments exactly.............#1 and #4.
