I like #3 because of the dragonflies too.

I agree with you. However, any of the three will be gorgeous.

I like # 1. It is striking with the dragonflies dancing in the center as a focus point and the snail trail blocks mimic the flight of the DF. Very nice and love that fabric. Post as you go with whatever you choose!

I did all the same ones of each section so once I figured out which way the patch was supposed to be positioned, I was able to immediately repeat it 5 more times.

BTW, I'm Nancy, but you're not the first person on the board to call me Marjorie.

Don't know why...

When I looked at the post I promise I thought it said Nancy! Maybe the one before yours, so sorry. Thanks for the info. I will practice a few before I start. I do have "AAQ" ruler which is a big help.

For others, I do have enough for border and back on the dragonfly so will probably do that in whichever one I pick. I did make changes noted earlier to option one.[ATTACH=CONFIG]453033[/ATTACH]

What a hard decision you have, I really love the drama of the first one and I like the second one as well, the third one looks a little to busy to me, I think the other two make the dragon flies more dramatic.

I really like the first one (errors fixed) The monkey wrench has more of a contemporary look than the other two-they seem more traditional. That lovely fabric just doesn't say 'traditional' to me. I hope you can incorporate a section of the fabric into borders or the back to showcase it's beauty and the source of your inspiration. Happy quilting!
