I like the white one best. The red one is too "jarring" for me - the red stands out so much that you lose the the many other great colors in the quilt. I believe if someone were asked to describe the two quilts they would say one was a scrap quilt but they would likely describe the other as a red quilt.

Hey Gem, I am soing a quilt called Hattie's Choice in the light blue a lime green and purple print, I think the colors are gorgeous together, The Hatties Choice is a geometrical delight. I might just try these color in another one. My DH has cut up a whole box full of different colored 2 1/3 inch blocks for me so before it is over I mayhave one of every color in the rainbow.

Thanks for all the nice compliments and helpful advice. I think lilac will tone it down a bit but I think I do prefer the white. I used red to draw out a lot of the red scraps. I love the 3D look of the boxes. This pattern will probably be used over and over.
