THIRD

ruthieg 10-04-2010 12:16 PM

I Love the circles.

quilterken 10-04-2010 12:27 PM

I like three, but try it on point if you extra fabric. Your fans will be standing

jdavis 10-04-2010 12:39 PM

I like the last one, too. The others are pretty, but there's something about the last.

That is a great idea. When unable to chose a design pick them all.
It is hard to choose. #1 as the borders, #2 for the main body of the quilt and #3 for a 2nd border.

I like your idea. erstan947

I really like the circles the best. What beautiful material.

Quiltylady 10-04-2010 03:11 PM

I like the fan one, the last one. The fabric looks like hankies. Pretty.

Numbers 2& 3 look so good to me (a rank amateur) with 3 my fav...pretty, pretty...Sally

penski 10-04-2010 03:28 PM

my vote goes for # 3

maryb119 10-04-2010 03:33 PM

I vote for #3.

bjnicholson 10-04-2010 03:36 PM

I like #3 best too! Love the pattern. Nice colors!

wraez 10-04-2010 03:50 PM

I think it is going to be entirely up to you! Obviously the blocks will turn out great, no matter the design you choose. I think it is a personal choice.

I like the first one.

grannypat7925 10-04-2010 03:54 PM

I too prefer the last one.......beautiful!!!

Yes. I'll do some different ones in a day or two. I have some more ideas. thanks.

madamekelly 10-04-2010 04:01 PM

Try a layout with two connected for a full fan, and then stagger the rows?

The first one is my pick - cause I did one very similar..

kacy 49 10-04-2010 04:08 PM

I like the last one best also.

Rann 10-04-2010 04:11 PM

Either one but the first.

Annz 10-04-2010 04:24 PM

I like the 3rd one.

Yours is very pretty. Love the black.

the real misfit 10-04-2010 05:35 PM

i like the second design then i would embroider dark pink roses in the middle but i am sure it will be a beautiful quilt any way you choose

pab58 10-04-2010 06:10 PM

I like the second one, but only if all the blocks have the same design. Otherwise, I would vote for the third one. Posters who suggested using all three layouts seems intriguing to me. The fabrics are so absolutely beautiful that it really doesn't matter which layout you choose. It is going to be a stunning quilt! :thumbup:

mequilter 10-04-2010 06:29 PM

I like the circles (2nd one) the best. The idea of using the look of the fans would be great for the border. Any layout you choose for these will be wonderful.

rahaube 10-04-2010 06:33 PM

What beautiful blocks. I like the fan arrangement at the bottom better than the other two but they are all beautiful. You are very talented.

I forgot to tell you, I am willing to give it a home for you, no trouble at all....lol!

The third one, looks like fancy lady fans-my grandmother always had a Sunday fan for church and it was a beautiful floral pattern.

Sheree from Chicago 10-04-2010 07:40 PM

It's going to be beautiful, no matter which way you arrange them. I like either the 2nd or 3rd option.

TxCaRose 10-04-2010 08:03 PM

I like the last one better

amalia64 10-04-2010 10:09 PM

Three for me

Too much plain fabric. More input please!!

I like the third best but . . . is your hubby gonna use it?

I told him what the general consensus was and he said I could do whatever I wanted but he still like the circles better. I'm trying to come up with a way that I can use all three. I've layed them out on point, and in half circles, staggered, with plain blocks inbetween. I'm still making more blocks. I have about 40 of them made so I will have to decide pretty soon which way they should go. Who knows, I make have to make one with all of them.

JudyA7124 10-05-2010 07:33 AM

I vote the third one. It reminds me of a quilt that my Momma made for me when I was little.

any of the above :lol: :lol:

sylvia77 10-05-2010 06:34 PM

Definitely the circles in my opinion!

grammyj 10-05-2010 06:34 PM

Oh I like the fans,so pretty

moonwolf47 10-05-2010 06:51 PM

I am no expert. IMHO I like the 3rd layout the best.
