PLEASE VOTE - Which Escher Steps Pattern is best?
 

Hi,

I am making this quilt for some very special - my DH, and when I ask him which pattern he likes the best he just smiles and says they are all wonderful. So I am here looking for input - Please vote for #1, 2, 3 or 4 and what you like or don't like about it or the one you chose....

thanks!

I like no. 2. I see more of the background.

I also like #2. I like seeing the steps going in both directions.

I keep going back to #1. It seems to flow.

I like 2 and 4 best...

I like #1 best. It just works for me.

number 1 or 3

I like #2.

i also like number 2 looking good

I like #2.

i like #1 i think it has a more calming effect

I like #3, for reasons I c an't explain.

I like #1.

Definitely #1 or #3. Just a thought ---what if you made the design larger, like only 4 x 5 squares instead of 5 x 6. Your pieces would be a little larger to work with.

The squares are actually 10X10 and the entire quilt will be 74X 68.

With #1 - I see the steps first - and for reasons I can't explain, I would like the steps to go from bottom left to top right.

With #3 - I see the backgrounds first, and the steps are secondary

I don't care for #2 or #4 - and I can't explain exactly why - maybe because it's because the steps resemble some other patterns, and it seems like a waste of a really unique design feature.

perfect explanation. I agree with this. If it's the steps that you want to see, number one accomplishes that.

I keep going back to one. They are all great but there is something that catches my eye on one

I like #3 the best. It flows well, but your eyes don't get bored as they would in #1. All of them would be lovely, though.

I like 1 the best. The steps jump out at me. (For 3, the steps don't jump out.... they are secondary).

I don't like 2 or 4 as much. They make my head spin. LOL

I like #1 best. #2 is beautiful but a little to busy for my taste.

Number 1, for me also! Terrific design! Please show us as you proceed!!

2+4 best. Different.

I vote for number 2

i vote for #2

I prefer #4, just like the movement in the piece!

Either of these are fine but I think it would make it more interesting if you did more a more random arrangement as if the flights were wandering up and down and back and forth..

I like #4 best, but also like the idea suggesting random steps. Would have to see that though.

I vote for #1 or #3, but #1 is the one that stands out more for me. To me the steps just flow better in #1. It will be beautiful no matter what you chose.

My first choice would be #1....then #3.

I like numbers 2 and 4. Good luck choosing.

#1 is perfect. Love the colors and look of steps

I like 1 and 3 best. 2 and 4 hurt my eyes.

I like #3 and my second choice is #1 I think they both ]have more of the M C Escher feel
Love your color choices

I like #1 best because it gives more of the true MC Escher effect. The others are great designs, but I think they lose some of the stairstep and more focus is on the X design, but not looking as 3-D as Escher's work.

Wow, all are great but I like #4 the best.

I like #1 - although all are terrific. Very good use of HST. I may copy this quilt. This pattern would make a great Quilt of Valor.

I like #1 best.

I really like #2 and #4. They pull your eyes in too me it has more movement than the others.
