DQS6 Dilemma

I had 2 ideas when I got my partner's info for the DQS6. The first meant that I had to buy some new fabric as surprisingly I had nothing suitable in my stash. Hardship I know! So while I was waiting for it to arrive I started working on the second idea that I had. Then the fabric for the first arrived and I couldn't help it but to plunge in and start putting together my original idea. So now I have 2 DQS6 quilts on the go and I just can't decide which one is the winner.



My original idea was to make a coin quilt and do some applique to do with tea. I am thinking of adding a couple of wonky log cabins for the backing. The colour scheme is light pastels and the fabric mostly floral.



The second idea that came to me was circles. And birds. You can never go wrong with birds. This quilt is a mix of aqua, brown, green and white.

Both are so different in style and colour scheme. It is very difficult to know which might be a better fit for my partner. Which is your favourite?

Sorry but i'm going to be as much help as the others - they are both adorable! I can't choose - but I do really love that little girl on the chair!

Ok - both are cute, but I've been doodling birds this afternoon (not for quilting! Good grief - I'm still not there yet!) and so I'm going with the birds because they are cute and it's Spring!

They are both delightful - your appliques are so sweet! The girl onthe chair is probably my favourite.

No favourite - they are both fabulous. No really, I couldn't choose. Wow. Wish I could applique like that, I'm still a beginner :-(

Well the birds are SUPER adorable and obviously they should be used in something very important. But I ♥♥♥ the girl on the chair! She is so unique. I haven't seen anyone do that before!

Opps! I read it wrong! Now I understand! Still love the birds! :)

Well I have a solution for you! I missed the sign up for DQS6 somehow. And I love them both! So just send one to your partner, and one to me! :)

kidding.

I think I like the birds more. But the girl is so unique...
