all the fabrics used which for me loses cohesion.That said, I do not have the artistic freedom you show and tend to stick to more staid patterns (cluck, cluck - chicken). Like the one on the left best. Anymore I let the people I am making quilts for choose fabric and pattern and make improvements I think necessary to work.


They are both about 75 square even tho the pics don't look like it.

#1 is very appealing to me, #2 loses the diamond pattern. I think it should be different if you want it to stand out more. It's very interesting tho.

I, too, like the one on the left. Not sure why I don't care for the one on the right.....it just seems "scrambled" to my eyes. But it would work as a wall hanging in a large space. It's just not restful to me, but sometimes restful is not what is always needed. What do you plan to do with these?

I like EvelynJ's reply. Yes, they do need to be in a STARK area, nothing else around them to make a visual impact!

At first I thought the one on the left...but went back and really looked, and I actually like them both..when you say no piecing, only fabric strips, do you mean you somehow cut all the fabrics where it looks like individual pieces, but actually they aren't? I usually "get" things, but this is "getting" me!! :p

I don't find them busy.....I think they have a very folksy, ethnic vibe.....I especially like the medallion.
