Design Wall Monday October 16, 2011

I finished up my rainbow of crumb blocks this weekend! Most of them have been made along the way during the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  Now I just have to decide how to put them together. 
  Option 1 is a simple grid. 
Option 2 is an alternating grid.  I would fill in with half blocks along the edges, making the quilt a bit wider.  That might inspire me to add a row of brown blocks to the bottom and maybe even a row of black to the top, though that might be too dark compared to the rest of the quilt. 
So what do you think, Option 1 or Option 2?

  2. I like the fun look of option 2. It plays well with the bright, happy blocks.

  3. I have trouble visualizing but I like option 2 and maybe use the multi-colour crumb blocks as a border to make it wider and longer.

  4. I like them both but probably like the "off set" option 2 a little bit more. And I have a great idea for the border... "Rainbow Scrap Challenge" using the UnRuly letters would be perfect!

  6. Option 2, definitely. Altho since it mean more work, not just sewing the rows together, Option 1 is nice too :-D

  10. I like Option 1 the best, as it allows the colours to speak for themselves without the design being distracting.

  11. Option 1 lets my eyes rest. Option 2 keeps my eyes jumping all over. Kind of depends on how you want to use the quilt. Fun use of scraps!!

  12. I like option 2. I like the string blocks you used in the post before. Wish I had done a block or two for each month instead of trying to do a whole project each time....then I wouldn't have been a Scrap Challenge drop out. I still love seeing what everyone is doing.

  13. I really like Option 2 - it's just that little bit more interesting!

    I know at least one person who's sure that next month will be brown!
