okay. I give up trying to decide this on my own. I change my mind every day and am unable to move forward! yikes.

I am making an on-point quilt for my mom using the sandy gervais pattern, Sticks & Stones.

I can't make up my mind for the setting blocks - One is a dark brown tone-on-tone, with bits of black in it. The other is a richer, but busier, brown with non-metallic gold roses etched into it.

Our camera is with my husband in the truck, so I had to use my cell phone - pictures are ok, but could not take distant shots so did a lay-out on my cutting table.

Thanks so much for your help.

Hm, they both show as purple on my monitor. Anyhow, I would use the one with the gold roses.

i love the one with the gold roses, BUT i think the blocks in the center are busy looking fabric, and the other one would look nicer. IMHO

I see them as purple too. I also like the extra visual interest the gold roses gives.

I like the gold roses one too, normally I would say go for the solid, since the center fabric is busy, but the solid seems kinda blah. Ditto the feline fanatic with the visual interest thing :-)

I vote for the one with the roses.

roses....definately!!!

Either one is fine but the rose one adds more interest.

ditto!

Gold roses, its going to be a dynamite quilt. I can tell.
