Pam in KC said...: I prefer the diamonds/x's of the first one -- but that's just me. if you are looking for something different, what about straight furrows or concentric diamonds?; 21 May 2012 at 11:52
Exuberantcolor/Wanda S Hanson said...: I love zig zag quilts so that is my choice. There are so many different ways you can set this one that you will probably make more blocks and do another.; 21 May 2012 at 12:54

Paulette said...: I was going to say the first one, but then I turned my head sideways looking at the zigzag one and thought...what if you flipped the zigzag 90 degrees so that instead of the points going east-west, they went north-south, like chevrons? You could add a border on the upper and lower ends and make it a bit longer, if you needed it to be. If you wanted it wider, you could even do a vertical strip between every two columns of string chevrons. Anyway, just some ideas that floated through. I'm sure whichever way it's put together, it'll be great!; 21 May 2012 at 14:51

Karen said...: I am partial to the traditional set - it's hard for me to try new things sometimes.; 21 May 2012 at 17:08
carol fun said...: Ok - I'm liking the 1st version with the diamond-y blocks. That's my 2 cents worth -but any way you set them it is going to be a great quilt!; 21 May 2012 at 17:52
Deborah said...: My vote goes to the diamond design. It is sure going to be a pretty quilt.; 21 May 2012 at 18:11
Jeane said...: I am partial to the diamond setting but that's just me. I'd like to see the zigzag up and down, sounds interesting.; 21 May 2012 at 22:28
Sarah Martin said...: Wow, I really want to say zigzag but looking back and forth at them, I have to actually say I like the diamonds better for this one!; 22 May 2012 at 00:32
