    Default Which one?

    Needed to make a quick quilt so after receiving suggestions from several here on QB, I made a quilt with a free Cobblestone pattern. I learned a bit about myself. I don’t like easy patterns~ I much prefer piecing. The colors are the ones the receiver wanted (not really my cup of tea so to speak). After I made it, it just didn’t resonant with me so I thought I would doctor it up a bit and made abstract flowers that will be blanket stitched onto the quilt. Which quilt does everyone prefer? Thanks

    ​I like both but for me it would depend on how I want to machine quilt it. I might want the plain blocks to put some fancy quilting in.

    To me there is no question, the second one, but is your person a very plain dresser, an unfussy person? Perhaps they will like the simple one better.

    Your flowers are so cute! And so are those stuffies. I can tell just by looking at the pictures which you like best. Hehe
    Bigger, cuter, sweeter. Trust yourself with this one.

    I prefer no flowers, but with some interesting quilting in the blocks. Have you asked the person the quilt is for? If they are not a frilly person they might not appreciate the flowers.

    The person who this is going to is in a nursing home and has mild to moderate dementia. I want her to have a nice quilt from me but realize that things go “missing” in nursing homes.
