Today I am looking for feedback. You don’t need to be a quilter. You don’t need to an expert. You just need to have an opinion and the ability to type. 🙂
I have been planning a Ziggy’s Pinwheels Quilt and I want to do it with Moda’s Wee Play collection. (ok ok, there is some peas and carrots in there too, just in case Charlie is reading :P) What I need YOUR help with is the color layout.
Have a look at the following four blocks and please vote in the comments. I’d also like your opinion on the sashing. Soooooo here goes……
-
- BLOCK ONE
-
- BLOCK TWO
-
- BLOCK THREE
-
- BLOCK FOUR
-
- SASHING CHOICES
-
- BORDER FABRIC
Thanks for leaving your vote for the blocks, and the sashing color you think would be best. I’m looking forward to hearing all your opinions!!

I love block 1 with green inner border and striped outer border.

block 2 love it !
Comment by Julie mcneely — December 28, 2009 @ 8:59 am |
FUN, FUN!! Love the colors! Block #2 with the light sashing would be my first choice, especially with that border. Soooo cute! It’s hard to pick.

Block 1 with green sashing!
(Block 2 looks nice color-wise, but I think the values are too close together and the scale of the two main fabrics are too similar. Blocks 3 & 4 both make my eyes hurt!)
LOVE the border fabric!
Comment by Beth — December 17, 2009 @ 10:00 am |
I think that block 4 shows the pinwheels off the best. I would use sashing 3(red) or 4(orange). I think the red sashing would bring out the pinwheels the best but if you want to use a lot of the different colors the orange would work well too.
LOVE the stripes for the border!
JMHO

Block 1 and Block 2 would do it for me with a green sashing. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Comment by Jackie Dundon — December 17, 2009 @ 10:22 am |
I vote for block 2 with orange sashing as my first choice or block 1 with green sashing as my second.
I’m not really fond of that lighter fabric at all.
Comment by T.Murphy — December 17, 2009 @ 10:26 am |
Oh, they are all lovely Bradie! I vote for Block 1 with green sashing and the stripey border fabric!
Comment by Trudi — December 17, 2009 @ 10:32 am |
My favourite is Block 4 and with block 4 I would choose the orange sashing. Second choice would be Block 2 and then I think the strippy sashing. Didn’t get as far as borders, that’s toomuch for my brain right now
Comment by Barb F — December 17, 2009 @ 10:37 am |
block 1 with green sashing.
Comment by Nicole — December 17, 2009 @ 11:12 am |
I Love block 4 and block 3. As for sashing ideas.. I will leave that up to you 😛
Comment by forstedbetty — December 17, 2009 @ 11:23 am |
Block 1 with green sashing. If you’re going to do an inner border, I’d use the white. Can’t wait to see it!
Comment by Chelley — December 17, 2009 @ 11:38 am |
I think Block #1 and block #2 are nice.
Comment by tayfan2 — December 17, 2009 @ 12:03 pm |
Thanks for your input everyone! Looks like Blocks 1 and 2 are leading the race…. so far!

I would use Block 4 with red or orange sashing. I think it will be beautiful.
Comment by arlijohn — December 17, 2009 @ 1:22 pm |
I love block 2 with the light coloured sashing
Comment by Liz — December 17, 2009 @ 1:36 pm |
block #2 with light sashing! 🙂
Comment by Elia — December 17, 2009 @ 1:41 pm |
I like block 4 as well.
Orange sashing to accent all the other colors.
Border fabric is awesome to tie all the colors together.
Comment by Deara — December 17, 2009 @ 1:41 pm |
Block 1 with green sashing is my choice – they are all unique
Comment by Beverly — December 17, 2009 @ 1:43 pm |
I love blocks 3 & 4 and I think the red would be wonderful for the dashing!
Comment by Laura — December 17, 2009 @ 1:56 pm |
Block 1 with green sashing
Comment by Cheryl Streeterr — December 17, 2009 @ 2:33 pm |
I love Block 1 with the green sashing. My second choice would be Block 2. But I am very new to quilting, only about a month now. They are all great choices!
Comment by Jan — December 17, 2009 @ 3:05 pm |
Block 1 is my pick. I think the light sashing or the green would look great. Block 2 is my second choice. Have fun with it no matter which you choose.
Comment by Debbie — December 17, 2009 @ 3:16 pm |
block 1 for sure
Comment by Anita Tockey — December 17, 2009 @ 3:42 pm |
I pick block 2 with the light sashing. And have Matt quilt that up before mailing it to me. LOL
Comment by Della — December 17, 2009 @ 4:03 pm |
I love block one. Green sashing would be my choice. I’m eager to see the finished project!
Comment by Mimi — December 17, 2009 @ 4:57 pm |
Block 3 with red sashing.
Comment by BettyAnn Maki — December 17, 2009 @ 5:16 pm |
I like block two, and also block one.
Comment by Jennifer Manners — December 17, 2009 @ 7:12 pm |
Block 2 with white (lightest sashing)…Of course, I love vibrant blocks!!!
Comment by Ruth Oblinski — December 17, 2009 @ 7:25 pm |
Block 1 with green sashing
Comment by heer sharif — December 17, 2009 @ 8:29 pm |
Bradie, Are you sure so many other ideas are going to help you decide?!
I like Block 1 – with green sashing.
Comment by Dee M — December 17, 2009 @ 10:30 pm |
I like block 4 with the red inner border. I think the red has the zing needed to really make the quilt sing.
Comment by Chris — December 18, 2009 @ 12:03 am |
Are you set on using only one block color scheme? I like 1,3 and 4.. I think they’d look nice used alternately. But if just one… block 3 with the green sashing. Let us know what you decide! (^_^)
Comment by Mary — December 18, 2009 @ 12:23 am |
I love those colors too! I like blocks 1 and 4. Good Luck keep us posted on your progress! (((HUGS)))80}

I love block one with the green sashing. 🙂 That’s my vote! 🙂

#4 and the orange sashing! Great patterns!

I like block 4 with the orange sashing. I did the “squint” test and block 4 had the most variation and I love the way it almost looks like a candy-cane! I’d go with the orange sashing as well.
Can’t wait to see which one you pick and, of course, the finished top!
Happy Holidays

You could use all 4 blocks and a different sashing for each one. I love scrappy.
Comment by Barbara — December 18, 2009 @ 10:35 am |
Block 2 is my favorite. They are all good but I prefer block 2. Midge
Comment by Midge — December 18, 2009 @ 4:28 pm |
Block 1. Maybe the lightest color sashing. Undecided about border. Good Luck. Have fun.
Comment by Chris — December 18, 2009 @ 7:11 pm |
I like them all but Block # 3 is the one!!
Comment by Virginia — December 18, 2009 @ 8:34 pm |
I love block 1 with the green sashing, but also like block 2 with the white sashing. Great border fabric!
Comment by Brenda — December 19, 2009 @ 2:19 am |
I really like block #4. I think that it draws attention to the pinwheel better. It caught my eye off the bat!
Comment by Amanda — December 19, 2009 @ 4:37 pm |
One and two, with a peeper then borders!
