Which do you like better? Two bl & wh minis!
 
3 Attachment(s)
I posted one of these a few days ago, just the top. Now that one is hand quilted and bound, but I measured it badly, so it ended up too large for sending to AAQI. So, I did the same pattern over again. This time, I watched my points better, and used just 6 fabrics, rather than 8, trying to get a clearer, crisper look. I also machine quilted the second one -- for the crisper look again.

What do you think?

Well heck, I really like both of them. they look completely different, but pretty.

mom-6 02-22-2012 05:41 PM

Both are nice, but I do prefer the greater contrast of the second one.

Dolphyngyrl 02-22-2012 05:41 PM

I like the first one, don't know why

nannyrick 02-22-2012 05:42 PM

Hard to decide. Like them both.

jillnjo 02-22-2012 05:47 PM

Like them both, but if I had to choose, it would be the first one.

QuiltnNan 02-22-2012 06:20 PM

i love them both :)

Quiltaddict 02-22-2012 06:46 PM

Both are nice, but I prefer the second one which has more contrast.

Both are pretty, but if I had to choose, it would be the one on the left in the first photo. :-)

So fun to see these next to each other. I like the crispness of the second, but also like the border fabrics in the first. Either way they are wonderful!

M.I.Late 02-22-2012 08:11 PM

I like them both.

I like both, but the first has more sublte gradients, which I find interesting.

Pat-w 02-22-2012 08:21 PM

I like them both, but if I had to choose I'd pick the 1st one. Love the border on that one best.

mighty 02-22-2012 08:25 PM

They are both so nice I can not decided!!!!!

kristen0112 02-22-2012 09:32 PM

The first one is my favorite the second seems a little flat to me.

audsgirl 02-22-2012 11:28 PM

I like the one with more contrast. From this photo, the first one I find too distracting. Your good work is kind of lost.

auntbarb 02-23-2012 03:43 AM

I prefer #2

BrendaK 02-23-2012 03:52 AM

They both are very pretty. I am drawn to the first one, Good job. BrendaK

I like the first one, mainly because the pattern seems to "flow" better. The second one is nice, but a bit too much contrast for my taste.

Chicca 02-23-2012 04:33 AM

Both are fabulous, but I would have to say the second one is my favorite.

patsynel 02-23-2012 04:53 AM

Can't choose one, I like them both.

Sew N Tune 02-23-2012 06:09 AM

The one on the left - is that your #1. Contrast is much better, and I love, love black and white quilts.

Phyllis42 02-23-2012 06:11 AM

I like the first one best ... mainly because of the wider border, but also the contrast.

Me too. Can't give a reason either. Appealed to me on first sight.

pls1946 02-23-2012 08:00 AM

I like the second one...however both are beautiful.

sguillot 02-23-2012 08:10 AM

I love them both. I read a really great tip the other day. For a quick wall cover a pice of board any size you want and cover it with pretty fabric, Walla you have something beautiful to decorate you sewing room wall or any wall you want. I'm not good at picking out pictures but love love love pretty fabric so I think thats a great idea.

greencat 02-23-2012 08:42 AM

I think they both look great!

stitchingcrazy 02-23-2012 09:22 AM

1st one for me. But both are great. I have an urge to sew a red button on them! Sorry

omaluvs2quilt 02-23-2012 10:43 AM

I have to say I like the first one better, but both are nice. I like the motion in the first one and its really easy on the eyes, very interesting.

littlesurfer 02-23-2012 11:07 AM

They're both very pretty, but I like the second one best.

pacquilter 02-23-2012 11:10 AM

Really nice! I like your mitered borders.

dogsgod 02-23-2012 11:39 AM

Initially I liked the one with more contrast, but the other one i interesting and tends to draw me in more.

adnil458 02-29-2012 06:44 PM

Love them! Go AAQI :)

earthwalker 02-29-2012 07:48 PM

I too like them both, but if only had to choose 1, I would pick the first.

Whigrose 02-29-2012 08:00 PM

LeslieFrost,
I tend to be the outsider and this time is no exception. I like the action going on in the one on left.

best,
