This is the largest quilt I have done on the machine. It is 40 x 60 and was much harder than I expected, so please ignore the horrible stitching. I figured I had to start somewhere and just dive in.

When I originally planned the quilt, I bought the purple in picture #1 at the quilt shop. When I got home, I found the purple flower fabric (picture #2) in my stash. I love the flower fabric since it fits with the theme but I am afraid it might be flower overkill.

Thanks!

I love them both, but the second one is a bit too busy looking IMHO

I LOVE your quilt :D:D:D

The second one "seems" to be perfect - it is the right color, it has flowers, etc.

But I like the first one better - it seems to "settle" the quilt and finish it off better -

I like your second choice, and although they're flowers, I donl't think they willbe overpowering on a binding. From the pics, the 1st color doesnn't quite match anything.
Personal opinion, I could be wrong.

Just my opinion, but I like the first one best

I like #1 better.

#1 for sure. #2 is too busy.
