Same pettern, oh so different looking!
 

One seems dark and mysterious to me, the other a bit happier! Both are for charity.

I like that you posted both at the same time - it's really helpful to see how fabric selection can make such a difference!

Your descriptions are right on!

I think that is one of the fun things about creating one's own things -

both nicely done

Wow, I agree with your assessment. Color value is really amazing. And your examples are a perfect way to view it. They are both really great. I am sure they will both be appreciated.

Took the words right out of my mouth! Wonderful quilts.

Good job!!

Both are very pretty. The white really lightens up the second quilt.

Both are great!

Does make a huge difference! Nice work. They are both very pretty but give off totally different vibes.
