Thank you all for sharing your thoughts. I didn’t add up all the votes but it was interesting to see the reasoning behind the choices. Working with just tone on tone fabrics makes it so easy because I could pull fabric from the stash to make any of the designs and I could make it work. My personal choice was #3 but I let Vince pick and he chose #2. I did a little more tweaking and this is what it will be:
Fabrics are chosen. Let the cutting begin!
Becky in VA says
Nice!
Linda in Calif. says
Vince chose the right one. (LOL! Because I liked that one best)
Doreen says
Way to go, Vince!!!! That’s the one I chose, also!!!
CindyM says
I’ll forgive both of you for not making my favorite your favorite! *L*
Sherry Moran says
Will it be possible to get directions for this and the March challenge quilts? I love, love, love your patterns and choices.
Sharon Spingler says
Whoo Hoo! Me and Vince won! I really like this quilt.
WiAmy says
Love the changes! Great choice!
Pam in KC says
Admittedly, I was distracted when you posted your 3 ideas, but none of them spoke to me. I really like this with the change in color and the corners ‘cleaned up’.
Joni in La. says
I picked #3 and was a bit disappointed that you chose to go with #2, but each person’s taste is different and it is yours to choose.
Then you posted this update. I kept looking back and forward and tried to figure out precisely how you changed it and I was unable to do that. I just don’t know how you were able to make it better, but you did. I really do like the way it turned out. They are going to love it!
Not to criticize and I really do not mean to, even if it sounds like it. I’m curious about your inspiration for the toothy part of the light Xs. It seems to blur the shape of the X and it appears as if it will make the piecing a lot more difficult to do than if it was a solid beige square.
Like I said, I do not mean this as a criticism. I only wonder how your creative process works to end up with what you do. You make such lovely designs and I envy your abilities to do so. I only wish I had a quarter of the creativity that you seem to have. Evey time you create a new quilt, I have to add another to my wish list of things to make……

Love it, Judy. Good idea to let Vince choose, since it is for a man.
Amy @ Heritage Homemaker says

Linda B in MI says
