So far I've found that with the blocks in my group. They look so wildly different. Its all about fabric and color choices.

I agree...everytime someone posts their blocks I always think, Man...I should have gone with that color scheme and done it that way!! I have a list of Jane quilts a mile long that I would love to make!

I'll be really interested to see what you do with the tri's Kim. Is everyone in your group doing Tris?

Got my software today, here's my mock-up....

Or is this one better? (All the same value of orange)

Third option:

I'm curious to know which one you guys like the best ...

The third one has black sashing and rainbow cornerstones too which you can see in the pic ...

Rachel

Rachel, I like the last one best, you can really see the way the pattern is set out best there. They are all however very nice and whichever you choose will make a beautiful quilt.

Elle

Rachel, I was scrolling and thinking..oh, that looks good, then I got to the last one and when "OOOHHHH...now that one looks stunning!!" :shock: :D I really like it with the varying background values and the outer scallop treatment. Its so much fun to play with the software isn't it...now you see how quickly I could do the first one for you :wink:

Oh it was so much fun to play!!! It took me a while to figure everything out, but I realized it's not super quick to make one, so I really really appreciate you doing that one for me. As you can see, I kept your idea of the circles, so I hope you don't mind if I put your name on the back as "Design inspiration" and I will do the same for Kimby too since she gave me the idea of the different shaded background. :) :) But yes I think I agree with both of you, the third one has way more visual impact, so I think that's the keeper!!

I *may* even do two at once, i was thinking it'd be nice to have a kind of scrappy one where I can make all my mistakes first and then do my real one. That may be a little ambitious, but we'll see! I decided to keep the second one simple. I will use muslin for the background, and then scraps for the colored pieces.

Now i just have to figure out the fabric I need to buy for my blue and orange!! :)

Rachel...you don't owe me any design inspiration...thats just how I interpreted your comments :lol: I like your little scrappy too! I really like how you are carrying out the RTW colors into the tris..that is cool! So..mind if I copy you for my next Jane?? :lol: :lol:
