Your quilt, your way. I kinda think the first may be a bit too busy for my taste and, of course, would show offf the quilting nicely. Eithe way would b vey nice, however.

Beautiful, I like pic #1 and I am assuming #3 is your quilting plan, which sets it off beautifully! Great job planning it all out. Lucky kids.

No 2 but they are both lovely

I agree totally!

I like the 2nd picture

sherryl1 12-11-2012 06:23 AM

I vote for the first one.

matraina 12-11-2012 06:31 AM

I like #3. It seems more peaceful and I like the blue in it.

QuiltingByCourtney 12-11-2012 06:35 AM

I like #1 :)

oldquilter 12-11-2012 07:17 AM

I like the first one.

Geri B 12-11-2012 07:36 AM

here is another possibility........second design w/alternate blank blocks......use beige for sashing of all, use solid blue as alternates in center and green as setting triangles on ends, but I would add a border just to confine the design, not large, but of same color as setting triangles and after all the work of piecing and quilting the body, having to flip to do the opposite borders is "easy"........JMHO

MimiBug123 12-11-2012 08:01 AM

I like the second one with a beautiful quilted motif in the solid blocks.

peppermint31 12-11-2012 08:28 AM

# 3 really caught my eye!!!!

charhend 12-11-2012 08:35 AM

I vote for #1.

JoanneS 12-11-2012 09:01 AM

Great block! Your son and DDIL are lucky! I like #2, because it makes the eye move around the quilt. I would use the light background for the 'blank' blocks instead of the tan, IMHO. Also, I'd use the tan sashing of #1. The quilting design is lovely. Much better than 'in the ditch.' And the 'blank' squares will really show off the quilting.

Robinlee 12-11-2012 09:22 AM

Love #1. and your quilting design.

Julielhs 12-11-2012 09:26 AM

I like the first one

BrendaK 12-11-2012 09:37 AM

#1-23 votes, #2-26 votes, #3-5 votes. The votes seem pretty even. I like them both. How much time do you have? I am really no help as I can see the possibilities of both. Please let us know what you decide. Good Luck. BrendaK

nstitches4u 12-11-2012 10:27 AM

They are both beautiful, but I like the first one best.

quiltmaker52 12-11-2012 11:14 AM

I love the first one!

wendiq 12-11-2012 11:31 AM

I would go for #1......the quilting motif is gorgeous.

MargeD 12-11-2012 11:37 AM

I like the first one the best.

wolph33 12-11-2012 11:39 AM

I like both but 2nd one a bit more.

topstitch 12-11-2012 11:48 AM

I really like the second one best

Marguerite 12-11-2012 11:52 AM

My taste is #2

kathbug 12-11-2012 11:55 AM

I like #1 the most. The quilting is gorgeous on both

Sewbeeit2 12-11-2012 01:34 PM

No. 2 is a.calmer quilt and the quilting would really accent the pattern.
either one will n
be a blue ribbon winner!

nana20010 12-11-2012 02:23 PM

#1 all or pretty

kqqlme1147 12-11-2012 03:29 PM

Number 2 really poped for me!!

CajunQuilter2 12-11-2012 03:45 PM

I really like the 3rd one. Good luck deciding...

redquilter 12-11-2012 03:53 PM

I vote for # 1

Beck55 12-11-2012 03:57 PM

#2 has my vote!

sewdamncute 12-11-2012 04:56 PM

The second one, show off your quilting! It is a great layout!

Debbie C 12-11-2012 05:28 PM

my personal favorite would be number one

caspharm 12-11-2012 08:19 PM

I like #1.

Momala24 12-11-2012 08:29 PM

I suggest that you do the one you are leaning towards! You will be doing a lot of work on this quilt so I think it should be the one you will enjoy making the most. (and I agree with your choice as well!)

nightquilter 12-11-2012 09:42 PM

both are beautiful, The second with the quilting you have chosen will show up better.IMO

earthwalker 12-12-2012 12:47 AM

I vote for 1, because it appeals to me the most....has some masculine elements, which I think are good for a wedding quilt.

Which of these 2 quilts do you prefer, keeping in mind that the attached representation of the quilting would be the same for either one, only the quilting on the solid tan blocks would really pop if I chose that layout instead of the first one... although I'm leaning towards the first one.

Thank you in advance!

They are all so beautiful that I don't think you can go wrong with any of them, but I do lean toward #1

Nonna Judi 12-12-2012 07:18 AM

#1 gets my vote! Good luck.

My time 12-12-2012 03:18 PM
