Which one of these quilts would you make? I have put the original patterns into EQ7 so I could size and color them to what I wanted. I am really leaning towards the Evening Star as there's just something about stars in quilts for me.

Love the Evening Star

bjnicholson 11-09-2010 09:08 PM

I like Evening Star best too.

Leota 11-09-2010 09:08 PM

I prefer the Evening Star... like you, I'm drawn to the star patterns

Both interesting, the star is stunning and the other looks like a good cuddler.

Sadiemae 11-09-2010 09:11 PM

Definitely Evening Star for me!

Evening Star :D:D:D

The Evening Star is just calling to me, so I think that will be the one. As luck would have it, my quilting friend and I are going on a local quilt shop hop this Friday and Saturday, so I guess I know what I'll be on the lookout for!! I'm thinking rich deep color batiks - yes?
I'm taking a couple of weeks off of work for the Christmas holidays and have decided that this will be my project. Now I'm really jazzed - the time off from work can't come soon enough!!
Thank you all for the great advice, support, ideas, and just general good old fun you bring to this message board!

I agree. I'm set on the Evening Star for this color combo, but still have the other on my ever growing "someday" list! I got that pattern a couple of years ago and keep pulling it out every so often. This was the closest it came to actually being "the one". I know it will hit the top of the list sooner or later!!
Thanks for the inputs!! :lol:

Evening Star really pops. You made a good choice.

Boscobd 11-09-2010 09:31 PM

I have to give my quilting friend the credit for the color combo. She purchased a bunch of batiks in that combo for a completely different style of quilt. I started drooling the instant she showed me her fabrics. So, I'm going to "borrow" her color ideas!! (she's totally okay with that!!). She's the one I'm "hopping" with this weekend, so she'll be on the lookout for "my" fabrics along with me! Quilting buddies are the best!

The 2nd one is still on my "someday" list. I really like that pattern, but Evening Star is calling.......
Thanks for being the rebel. There's something to be said about being a rebel! ;)

kreinhart742 11-09-2010 09:50 PM

They are both lovely but my vote is the evening star

ljsunflower 11-09-2010 09:57 PM

The Evening Star does it for me too!

odomjenn 11-09-2010 10:19 PM

I agree I love the evening star one! But stars are my favorite shape. :lol:

Iluv2quilt 11-09-2010 10:21 PM

Evening Star for sure.

EasyPeezy 11-09-2010 10:31 PM

I vote for Evening Star. Can't get enough of stars these days. :D

bjeriann 11-09-2010 10:44 PM

I think the Evening Star is ahead in the polls - It has my vote.

Evening Star.

SueDor 11-10-2010 03:27 AM

I like both!

sew wishful 11-10-2010 03:40 AM

Evening Star would be my choice, but I like the other too!

Lady-T 11-10-2010 04:21 AM

Definitely Evening Star!

FortMyers 11-10-2010 04:22 AM

I to love the second one , but I have never been a huge fan of stars, I love the color combo!

sunflower126 11-10-2010 04:25 AM

If I were selecting I would do the second one but the first star is beautiful. The second one for me because I stear myself away from many triangles. Just haven't gotton the knack of those points all matching.

So in answer to your question:the Evening Star is really pretty.

Me too

deebee 11-10-2010 04:37 AM

I love the stars. The points scare me so I would have to make the one with the squares. But, I think YOU should go with the stars. I'm looking forward to seeing yours!

LeeAnn 11-10-2010 04:45 AM

The Evening Star is speaking to me!

thequilterslink 11-10-2010 04:48 AM

both are super, but i love the star one.

MamaBear61 11-10-2010 04:49 AM

I love the star too.

ranger 11-10-2010 04:51 AM

I like the star one. It has more visual appeal.

BMP 11-10-2010 04:58 AM

I like them both, I wouldnt be able to decide either. I am going to a class this weekend to do the Carpenters Wheel and I am stoked. How big will the finished sizes be of each?

Evelynquilts 11-10-2010 05:04 AM
