colors of Oklahoma spring
 
2 Attachment(s)
I am posting a picture of my newest quilt top, Oklahoma spring. It was inspired by Carol Wilson's colours of Australia. I am not sure if I want to put the circles on over the design I have now. Please comment

I love it without the circles, it is so cool!!!!

barny 06-22-2012 07:38 AM

I love it with circles. They kind of finish it up. IMHO AND I love it vertical rather than horizontal.

i VOTE FOR CIRCLES. wonderful. I live in OK, too.

greensleeves 06-22-2012 07:43 AM

I like the circles, try auditioning with the circles arranged in different ways and maybe fewer circles. Love the idea!!

happymrs 06-22-2012 07:48 AM

I love the circles too & was going to say, play with arranging them on it, till you are happy with it! They do really add to the quilt, kind of make it pop, actually! Great job too, I love the colors!

It is gorgeous with or without the circles! Keep playing with placement of the circles, not quite right yet on that IMHO.

I prefer it without the circles also. I also just love, love, love your color choices! Beautiful!

Tweety2911 06-22-2012 08:37 AM

It is really pretty either way. However, I also vote for the circles. They add another dimension and excitement to an already beautiful quilt!

Me too. If you really wonder about the circles, do different arrangements and take pictures of each one.

i like it both ways, but, as previously said, i like it vertical as well.

With circles. They add dimension and interest. Vertical for me.

Hattie Frances 06-22-2012 11:42 AM

I love it, and I vote for circles.

Diane007 06-22-2012 11:43 AM

I vote with circles

nativetexan 06-22-2012 12:15 PM

Mmmm, i like it without the circles myself. they hide the work before. but it's your quilt and if you love it with them on, go for it!!

I have to agree I love the circles and I like it vertical as well. :thumbup:

I think it needs the circles. They are the flowers blooming among the leaves. I like it much better. Looks like a lot of work!

Taughtby Grandma 06-22-2012 01:47 PM

I like it better without the circles too, it is such an interesting pattern!

ube quilting 06-22-2012 01:57 PM

I like it both ways. With the circles is much more fun. As others have suggested, try rearranging them for more balance and try overlapping a few of them for more depth. I would also trying a couple right on the edge of the quilt by folding them just to see what it looks like and how about folding a few right around to the back of the quilt so you see some from both sides! ooooh! Love the strata style of the top. It is going to be so cool when Finished.
peace

I like it without the circles, reminds me of the windy Oklahoma panhandle.

kathdavis 06-22-2012 02:59 PM

Funky! Love it and would use the circles. They add to it.

Kitsie 06-22-2012 03:01 PM

I love the circles at all different angles!! Really add interest!

chips88 06-22-2012 03:04 PM

QUILTNMO 06-22-2012 03:35 PM

Neat quilt and its very pretty!!!!

Mazda 06-22-2012 03:50 PM

I love the circles, said the gal from Oklahoma City!

rebeljane 06-22-2012 06:47 PM

It is a great quilt but I would go for less circles IMHO

sylviak 06-22-2012 07:07 PM

Like the circles. Will you satin stitch them in black? Would make them pop!

PhotoKevin 06-23-2012 06:31 AM

Love the contemporary colors and design! Kudos!

cuppi duke 06-23-2012 08:16 AM

I like it both ways but really do love the circles. I think they give it a lot of diminsion.

TacoMama 06-23-2012 08:29 AM

Love the colors, but do NOT like the circles.

northern lass 06-23-2012 11:51 AM

I liked it without circles til I saaw the 2nd pic. I like it with the circles, they add to it. Perhaps need to audition them, not use so many, but I think they finish it off.

gmcsewer 06-23-2012 12:02 PM

I may not ever finish it as I love to keep rearranging the circles. I can't sew right now as I injured my left arm in a fall so will have a few more days (weeks?) to sew them down. Thanks for all the comments.

Cindy60545 06-24-2012 03:25 AM

my vote is with the circles, somehow it just finishes it off. I agree, play with them til you get what you like for arrangement, then sew it all together. Please post when finished, it'll sure be interesting to see the final outcome.

Blinkokr 06-24-2012 03:32 AM

Just terrific, great job and thank you for sharing, put the circles on.
Have a Blessed day

anita211 06-24-2012 03:41 AM

I love it with the circles. Even though it is straight lines, I love the circles to give some flow to the whole thing. Play with placement.

ItsJustMe 06-24-2012 03:50 AM

I vote for the circles!

#1piecemaker 06-24-2012 04:09 AM

Go with the Circles. It gives the quilt a whole other dimention!!! Fantastic!!

yonnikka 06-24-2012 04:12 AM

Mmmm, delicious, like a Slice of Raspberry watermelon. The three Big Circles are too big for your quilt top. Would you consider adding a wide Black border around the whole? Or, Divide those 3 big circles into more wedges, and place them on the Back. To me, this looks like a Wall Hanging. Having a back as dramatic as the Front would give you two for one. It is beautiful, whichever direction you go.

mighty 06-24-2012 05:37 AM

I like it just the way it is!!!

trolleystation 06-24-2012 05:41 AM
