    Designed several quilts in EQ7 for my husband's niece in law. She wants purple dragonflies. I have this collection to use http://www.quilt-kits-online.com/pro...rod=FF-DQPU-FQ plus twilight garden dragonfly pictured below. Which lay out would you choose and would you change anything to improve the one you select? Thanks for your input!

    I vote for #2

    I like the contrast between the white and black and grey and purple.

    Oh my, that is gorgeous Dragonfly fabric! I think I would have a hard time cutting it. I think I might choose #3 because you could fussy cut the dragonfly fabric for the center square in the block.

    I guess I'm different; I much prefer the first layout.

    All very pretty quilts and really creative tops. However your dragonfly fabric is amazing. To me all of those patterns are so busy they detract from your beautiful fabric instead of showcasing it.


    But between the 3 to me the second one would showcase it best.

    I like the first layout ... but think the cornerstones in the second layout would look pretty cool with it.

    Note though ... check the 1st layout as there is a mistake in it. The wrench block on the upper R inside border needs another arm, and the wrench below it has a twisted arm
