I’ve given in–I’m going to try quilting! I’ve been collecting pictures of quilts I like over on Pinterest and I’ve decided to make a zigzag quilt using this tutorial from A Quilt Is Nice (which is a great blog by the way).

Nettie has made a couple rainbow quilts lately that I’ve really liked and I think this zigzag pattern would look great in a rainbow palette. So I went shopping with my friend Stephanie and picked out a rainbow of fabrics which was really fun.
I’m still not sure about the orange on the right but we’ll see. The bottom fabric is for the binding around the edge of the quilt.
Now the question is which pattern should I use? I have two fabrics in each color–should I repeat through the rainbow twice or should I arrange the colors in a mirror image?
Hmm…my first instinct was to go with A, but B is growing on me and N says he prefers that one. It’s too bad Mimi is too young to tell us which one she prefers since this is going to be her blanket. 🙂
How about you–which do you prefer? Weigh in on the debate of the century!
***Update: See my finished quilt here!***
I prefer A. And I like the orange.
I like B. I think it gives a better sense of balance to the quilt. Also, your purples are two different patterns so having them right next to each other won't seem like your repeating yourself.
Where on earth did you get that gorgeous fabric? And can we go there when I come out?
I also like option B the best. The balance is nice.
