Which Quilt Do i want....

[Sliceanddice]

So since im moving in with my dad for 3 months (sudder) im thinking of making a quilt while i have the space to do it.

since im not big on patterns for anything buy clothing ive never had a quilt pattern that was no basic blocks and have no idea how/desire to find an actual pattern.

So i opened up paint and laid out what to me would be to very pleasant patterns with my butterfly fabric, and if i can get them floral or stripy or blocky fabric with pink blue or yellow in them.

Heres the patterns i worked out.

very octigony when laid out

Very Squary when laid out

now i understand if these patterns have names but i dont know them.

I don't know which one i like...

[Sliceanddice]

oh i forgot

if anyone wants so see them laid out i have images of that too.

[Sliceanddice]

still tied huh.... this isnt going to be easy is it

I don't quite follow your second one. Is it just that centre block repeated? Because I don't see how what you posted tessellates, and it doesn't repeat.

[Sliceanddice]

here is what the second one looks like laid out

and here is what the first one looks like laid out

i also have them in color

does that help mag?

And that should have been obvious.

I vote for the squary one, just because if it's your first quilt, you don't want anything too difficult.

And as a quilter I'm going to add the obligatory "make sure all your fabrics are 100% cotton" thingee. Cotton fabrics tend to respond the best to the "abuse" that quilting does.

Also I'd add that if this is your first quilt, start out with something small. A good friend of mine started quilting by making a king size. It took her 7 years and she finished it out of hate.

Whenever I make a larger quilt, I am very happy to get it finished, so that I can look at something else! Often it takes me a month or more to finish anything twin-size and up, and I've been quilting for over 8 years. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions during the quilting process, I'd be happy to answer them for you. Sorry it's taken me a bit to respond, had to argue with a cranky oven which filled the house with smoke.

I also vote for pictures.
