Visiting
Enjoyed visiting with two of my sisters….both went home today — tomorrow I’ll meet up with VickiW for lunch and a friend from college for dinner before heading home on Tuesday.
In the meantime, Mom decided she wanted to make a version of the new quilt I drafted on Thursday so we did a little fabric shopping this afternoon. She wasn’t sure which background she wanted to use so we came home and I cut out some of the blocks so she could see both options.
Which would you choose?
I like the top one – it adds more interest.
The top one.
definitely the top one!
I like the polka dot background.

Definitely the top one!!
love blue and green together so either background works for me. Though I have been using some solids as a background recently I thought I might choose the white background but when I compared the two, I must agree that the top dotted print adds something to the overall effect. Which one did she choose?
I would choose the top one as well. Happy sewing
I love the first one with the polka dots. It makes the quilt sing.

i like the polka dots too….it adds some visual interest to the background…
but (there’s always a but)
as a machine quilter, i like the bottom one because it could showcase some fancy stitching (like feathers….lotsa feathers!)
guess i’m not helpful at all
Whew! I am thinking like everyone else it looks like. I would go with the top one.
I like the top one, too. The polka dots give it a little more interest.
The dots seem “just right”!
I like the dots!!
Top one for sure.
I have the same living room furniture and love it. I recognized the pillow.
I love the polka dots, but then I like the starker contrast on the 2nd one.
The polka dot one. The other one is too plain.
I love the dots! So cute.
They are both nice, but I LOVE the dots!!
I am also woting for the first one.
I am going against the tide. I recently enjoyed quite a number of pure white backgrounds in quilts so have purchased some lovely Muslin mates..Moda…in white. I used one in a quilt of sea blues and it was glorious.
They seem to look so fresh.
I like the dots!!!
Hands down, the dots!
I love dots, they are just so much fun….
By the way, which manufacturer is the fabric from? I’ve been looking for a background like that!
look forward to see what you choose!

The dots! I would not think twice. I love the look.
the top one is my choice.
I like the dots. It adds interest.
Cute layout.

I like the polka dots!
I think the top one wins. I love the little visual interest of the dots.
Love the dots!
Definitely the one with the dots. They add a little more depth to the quilt.
Hi Mary,
I like the first one with the small print fabric. Looks more old fashioned. Have a good day.
I like the polka dots myself. Lovely color combo.
Dots for sure! I love dots!
I like the dots!
Dotty about the dots!
I like the dots!
Ditto — dots!
I love WOW in a scrap quilt because there’s so much else going on, but in this instance, I like the first one.
I’m voting for the polka dots! Cute!
Polka dots of course.
I like the top version, too, but the bottom version would lend itself to some pretty nice open spaces for quilting. Glad I’m not making the decision!
I love the dots version – really makes the green and blue pop.
Love those dots! Your sisters are very pretty. And is Chesty in the doggy hotel? HA
Top one definately, the polka dots really add alot to the quilt.
Absolutely the polka dots … makes the quilt come alive. Love the colors!
Definately the dots … but then I have a ‘thing’ about dotty fabrics
Definitely the first one!
The polka dots – absolutely!
