I like #4. In 1, 2, and 3 the background recedes but in 4 my eye bounces back and forth between background and leaves. Almost an optical illusion. Definately 4.

I like #3....I like what the blue does for the whole thing!

I'm with you. I was going to say #1 until I saw #3.

I like 3 & 4! Please, let us know which one you use!

Grama Lehr 07-26-2010 07:11 AM

I vote for ONE!!

I think #4 because all the colors are there.

klgreene 07-26-2010 07:13 AM

I like #4 the best. Because nature has more than just a few colors. Although I might not go as bright on the sashing. I'm thinking of doing a similar pattern, and I'm going to take the colors from a picture of a fall picture that even had a little pink in it. So this can be unlimited in colors.

wolfkitty 07-26-2010 07:19 AM

I like # 3 and #2, in that order. #4 is too busy, and #1 is too plain.

DoxieMom 07-26-2010 07:42 AM

They're all quite nice, but #1 is my favorite!

So I drew up the pattern in EQ5, and experimented a little with colors. I didn't play around with the borders too much. I think the outer border may be a decision that waits until I actually have the project underway.
I have four colorways to post....it might take two tries. Thanks for being patient.

I join the minority, I like three.

catrancher 07-26-2010 07:51 AM

#3 is my favorite. #4 is my least favorite, but they are all nice.

smagruder 07-26-2010 08:10 AM

I really like #3 best. Those blues just pop out... the others are pretty also.

sunrise450 07-26-2010 08:15 AM

They all look good but if I had to choose one to make myself I would chooss the 4th with a softer orange.

If you are going to put the blue in, I like number 3 the best.

Jude 07-26-2010 08:48 AM

I'm weird, too. The leaves are the last thing I see in the photos. That's the problem with photos...the sashing seems the focal point to me.

Cheriefaye2008 07-26-2010 09:32 AM

I like #3. It really reminds me of looking up through the trees in October. Blue skies and Autumn leaves, and all that. Any one you choose will be lovely though.

M.I.Late 07-26-2010 09:45 AM

I'm drawn to #4 Feels like out in the woods with a river running through it. It has the fall foliage colors, the green grasses and the water. To me, it's the total package! Hands down #4 for me.

Funny how we all see it differently. That's what makes quilting so unique.

#1

mizmarymac 07-26-2010 09:56 AM

I like design #1. I like 3 also, with the blue skies, but it takes away from the focal point.

Drew 07-26-2010 10:02 AM

Number 1 looks the most like fall to me.

Zephyr 07-26-2010 10:02 AM

#2 with the blue make it pop for me.

QuiltingGramma 07-26-2010 10:07 AM

#1 and #4 are my choices.

Para722 07-26-2010 10:15 AM

I vote for number 1

bob1414 07-26-2010 10:21 AM

#2 gets my vote.

ronnie17 07-26-2010 10:24 AM

I vote for #1 or #3 with a schootch more in favor of 3.

Subee 07-26-2010 10:24 AM

I vote for #4...but love all of them!

CountryStitching 07-26-2010 10:43 AM

I like them all but #1 is my favorite.

bobolee 07-26-2010 11:11 AM

I absolutely agree with you. Number 4 does seem to be the "total package".

ginnyk 07-26-2010 11:18 AM

I also prefer #1 which seems more restful. #4 is more exciting - depends on the mood you want to create.

Pineapple Princess 07-26-2010 11:35 AM

I like 1

rosimone 07-26-2010 11:43 AM

I liked #1 for fall. Blue is a cool color and would cut down on the "warm looking" factor.

irma tapia 07-26-2010 12:09 PM

I like #4 the best.

bettyd 07-26-2010 12:35 PM

My choice is number 1, It is a great pattern, and very fallish....

CoriAmD 07-26-2010 12:42 PM

they are all pretty, but I like #'s 1 and 4 best

dphelps 07-26-2010 01:01 PM

I like #1 best, then #4.

Marguerite 07-26-2010 01:12 PM

I choose #1 but that's because my favorite colorway is Fall. #2 is a good second choice. The last two are too busy for me

grandme26 07-26-2010 01:30 PM

I like #2 and #3, blue is my favorite color, so if it has blue I love it.

quiltmom04 07-26-2010 02:25 PM

I like 4 the best.

SharynH 07-26-2010 02:35 PM

I like 1 and 4 but 4 is my favorite. What a beautiful quilt! Did you design it?
