The triangles are already all sewn into squares but then we decided we didn't like the design we were going to do. So then I started playing around with other designs. (Sidenote: when my mom delivered the sewn squares she made me promise I wouldn't spend "all" my time on this quilt. I went to the opposite extreme and have spent NO time on it, til today! Eek.)
So, do YOU have a preference? 'Cause I just keep going in circles! If you have specific comments about what you like/don't like about any of them, please leave those below. Otherwise you can also vote for your favorite(s) in the poll at right. In the meantime, I better work on the other side...

P.S. I'm not completely insane, i.e. i don't expect to have this done by Christmas. But I would love to be able to show him the top... In 6 days.
I like the center diamonds 2 one because it's symmetrical. (it's the anal thing) :-) Diamonds 2 is symmetrical also, that would be my second choice. Remember though...he's a GUY - unless it's hot pink, he'll love it! They're not into details!
ReplyDeleteIs Christmas really in 6 days? Argh! It was Thanksgiving just yesterday. The quilt is really lovely! I wish I knew enough about quilting to have an opinion on which to prefer. But I wanted to say again that your little softies (the pyramids) are so adorable. My favorites are the chick and shark. How big are they? They remind me of a game I used to play as a child called 5 Stones, and the "stones" were shaped like these, minus the cute details, of course, and filled with beans. They were small, though, like an inch and a half big only. Looking at your pictures brought back all those memories!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Delilah. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your thoughts on this. My mom likes the Center Diamonds 2 one best as well, so that's what we're going with. Now I better get crackin' on the other side...
ReplyDeleteLier -- thanks, the softies are about 4" (10 cm) tall. I made myself a little pattern - let me know if you'd like it. Judging by everything else you sew, you'd have no trouble with these! I didn't actually make the shark -- that was sent in by a reader to the blog-owner that I got this idea from. But I do like it too. I don't have any silver -- was wondering what he'd look like in light blue satin...
I liked the Diamonds 2 also!
