    I give you greetings and say that both are well constructed and pretty. The second one is nicer to the eye and therefore my favorite of the two. The first one appears too opressive. The white counter balance adds the wow factor to the second one. Maybe one for winter and one for summer? Just a thought. Both are really pretty.

    I think it is beautiful just as is. If you are wanting more of a contrast and get a louder wow factor I might use a solid or a fabric that reads as one color of dark blue. The dark blue you used has a lot or lighter blue in it and it calms down the contrast and lowers the wow factor. Hope I am making sence to you. Try using a ruby red viewer to test your fabric because your preference may be to dramatic quilts. Hope this helps. Gail

    They are both beautiful, but I think I like the first one better. You are probably tired of them, having worked with the fabric for so long, but after a while you will look at them and saw WOW too.

    I am certainly not seeing a problem with either of these. They are both lovely and I will take either one you want to get rid of. lol
