Ok, not sure what you are trying to decide, but I really like those ones with the red/crimson!

Up North 07-19-2009 05:22 AM

Hey Terri I am not sure either! I think I will make it into a star pattern similar to the stack and what 2 wheelwoman did. I have no clue what I am doing just looking for fabric that will go with it right now.. HMMM

NorBanaquilts 07-19-2009 05:25 AM

I like the green from1 &2 and the red from 3 & 4

sandpat 07-19-2009 05:25 AM

I like the colors in the 1st picture, but don't like the pattern on the green fabric. Isn't that always the way it goes? My 2nd best is the red in the 2nd pic. I'll be watching to see what you make of these...they are really pretty!

Up North 07-19-2009 05:27 AM

actually the green fabric is plain with no pattern guess it is just the lighting in here.

I don't know if this picture is any better

Esqmommy 07-19-2009 05:36 AM

I like the 2nd red best. I also think if you found a greed that goes with the super light green (2nd green out of the flower), that might look nice - has a grey/tan overtone to it.

tlrnhi 07-19-2009 05:43 AM

I like the first one the best, and I like the 2d one too, but in the 2d picture, I don't like that one "marbled" fabric in there.

Ninnie 07-19-2009 06:09 AM

I like the one with the burgundy center in the first and I really like the second one!!

kathy 07-19-2009 06:30 AM

the solid red/burgandy gets my vote

Lacelady 07-19-2009 06:44 AM

The first picture (1 & 2) gets my vote.

Joan 07-19-2009 06:44 AM

Choice 2 is my pick......

(I don't think we're helping at all.....
the "vote" is clearly widely divided)

Up North 07-19-2009 06:54 AM

Oh you are all helping!!! I now have it narrowed down to green, burgundy and burgundy flower.

Hey! That'd be MY choice too! :) :)

Up North 07-19-2009 06:57 AM

great minds think alike LOL!

tlrnhi 07-19-2009 06:58 AM

lol
I'm thinking it would make a pretty fall/Christmas quilt.

Up North 07-19-2009 07:03 AM

Ok so now I don't have to rush? LOL!!!!

tlrnhi 07-19-2009 07:09 AM

Rush in making a quilt? Heck no!
I still have to finish one I made for a wedding gift. The couples first anniversary is next month. lol

Up North 07-19-2009 07:16 AM

I am always in a hurry to see what it will look like! LOL I made the sponge Bob quilt in one day!

tlrnhi 07-19-2009 07:17 AM

Oh, I have done that too, but lately, other things have gotten in my way or it's been just too hot in my room to sew

Up North 07-19-2009 07:22 AM

This has been the coldest summer I can remember it is only in the 60's today and we have had very few warm days.

QuiltMania 07-19-2009 07:22 AM

My favorite is the 1st picture on the right. 2nd fav is 2nd picture on the left. They all look good though.

Ducky 07-19-2009 07:29 AM

I love greens - but I'd say that perhaps the green should be a touch darker...? The burgundy is really nice. Your work is very nice!

littlehud 07-19-2009 08:56 AM

I like 3&4 best. Those are all very pretty.

crkathleen 07-19-2009 10:09 AM

ok, I like the red and green in #1 (really lovin the red) and I also like the red in #2. Hope this helps!

Boston1954 07-19-2009 10:11 AM

The first one is nice, tan with green. Also the tan and crimson.

Come to Oklahoma. We just now managed a few days in the 80's. It got to 104 last week.

Shemjo 07-19-2009 10:18 AM

I'm no help. I like them all! :?

sewnsewer2 07-19-2009 10:47 AM

I like the one in the 1st pic on the right, the red. It caught my eye immediately. The others seem to just blend and the red one stands out.

azam 07-20-2009 06:45 AM

I like the green, burgundy & burgundy flower, too. The others don't seem to make your pieces pop. Can't wait to see your finished product. :D

Iluv2quilt 07-20-2009 06:52 AM

I really like the burgundy colors - make your blocks stand out.

bearisgray 07-20-2009 07:00 AM

i like the solid red/burgundy the best

I don't care for the pinks in 5 and 6 with your blocks

gaigai 07-20-2009 07:40 AM

I'm with Terri: Choice no. 2 and Choice #3. I think the crimson/burgundy sets off the blocks really well!

Sew and Sew 07-20-2009 10:00 AM

I like 3 and 4...........I am partial to those colors.........but they all are unique.......

Those are the 3 I like. I think a lot depends on the effect you want. To me the green blends more with the blocks, while the burgundys make the blocks pop! I love the floral burgundy with the block you have on it, but I'm wondering how that would go with the other blocks. Also, I think the green will give it a cooler feel, and the burgundy will make it warmer. In the past I have layed out a piece of the fabric and placed the blocks on that -- kind of how it will look in the end. This gave me a better view of how I like that particular fabric.

Your blocks are gorgeous by the way.

nana2 07-21-2009 10:42 AM

The second one with large flower in the middle seems to fit the pattern best in my opinion. It sort of takes on the look of a kaleldoscope, and to me it always seems good looking to really get a lot of constract between lights and darks.

Knot Sew 07-21-2009 11:05 AM

I like 2 and 3 :D

The Babe 07-21-2009 11:09 AM

I like 1, 2 and 3. They are just great! You have given me some inspiration.

Kyiav10 07-21-2009 11:34 AM

I like the green from the first and the red/maroon from the second.
