Light vs Dark

One of the things we used to do a lot of was show a pattern in multiple variations to show what a difference fabric choice makes. These two quilts are called Cornucopia and Poetry in Motion. Finished two more UFOs!! :)

I really love seeing I pattern with dif fabric choices. Just like the mystery quilts that so many members do (not me) and see the dif color ways. Beautiful quilts and job well done knocking out 2 UFOs.

That's pretty neat, I love to see the same pattern in different colors also. Thanks for showing.

This shows just how color changes can expose a totally different quilt. You would never think they were the same pattern if presented separately. You did a wonderful job on both quilts. The lighter one I would give as a baby quilt and the other I would present to an older adult. Both ends of the spectrum.

Cute quilts!

Wow, you can hardly tell they are the same pattern at first glance. Both look great.
What a good idea.

Those quilts look as different as night & day (light & dark). Both are very nice. I like the woven pattern.

Great example of the way the same pattern looks with different fabrics. Both are darling!

Both are very pretty.

Both are so pretty!
How do you get such great pics? Do you use a camera or your phone or what? Mine are too small and sometimes not upright.

Isn’t amazing how changing fabric colors and placement will make the same pattern look different.

Hubs finally hung my quilt hanger in the dining room so I can hang some of my quilts there to take the pics. The wall is painted a neutral for better lighting. I use my camera. These actually have issues with light because I had turned a light on behind me to take the pic. (There's no overhead light in the dining room.)

Wonderful quilts...and both completely different. Congratulations on two UFO finishes. How many more do you have?

Pretty quilts and it is so amazing how different the two quilts are. Beautifully done and how fun to see same pattern in different fabrics.

Having a shop, I have a lot of flimsies. Get them done enough to serve their purpose then they sit in line at the longarms. You know how they say the plumber has leaky pipes? Well, this longarmer has finally started throwing some of hers on in between customer quilts. That's why lately they have been the smaller ones for the most part. No exaggeration - I'm guessing I still have around 100 to do. A lot of them are table runners, so don't judge me. LOL

Both are very good looking. I guess this goes to show, Maybe you don't like the quilt because of the colors, however, think of the design in as different color way.

Thank you for the info!

What a difference the fabric choice can make. These are both little beauties and I love that woven look.

Such fine examples of how the same pattern looks with different fabrics and color families. Beautiful.

Thanks all!
