small decisions

I've been working on my Circle game quilt some more.  I drew another block this week and it was kind of exciting to see it progress from paper to fabric.  I'm trying to make blocks that fit in with the rest from the pattern without being too similar. When I planned this block I intended to make the star centre red.  As I rummaged in my template bags I found this beige centre that is the perfect size.  I was surprised at how much I like it. 
 I went ahead and basted a red centre too. I had to be sure.
 And now I can't decide - lol!
 Surely if I laid out all the blocks together the quilt would tell me which colored centre to use.
But no - I still like them both :0)   I'm sure I'll decide soon and just sew one of them on.  2 more blocks to go!  I found the perfect border fabric in the sale room at a nearby quilt shop.  I'm excited this will be a completed top.
 
I also made the Clue #2 of the Thimblecreek Mystery.  I even managed to cut into some of my Dutch chintz fabric.  The first cut has to be the hardest right?

Happy Quilting!!

I think I prefer the beige centre but either is good! They look just like marble floor tiles laid out together - how wonderful!!

Love that beige center! Always fun to see this quilt come together. I think it's great that you're adding your own blocks! Makes it more special I'm sure.:)

Lovely block with either center!! Can't wait to see your border fabric.
Great fabrics on your BOM. Have a great day!

Your circle blocks are magnificent. You've drafted some awesome designs. I'm liking the beige center. It adds another layer. The Dutch chintz looks great in your block #2. It is hard to make the first cut, but now you can have fun.

I think I would use both colors. Which ever you choose it’s going to be a terrific quilt.

How exciting to have the perfect border ready to go!

Interesting. I like both and the block is different with either one so I wouldn't say it doesn't matter. So, you still have a choice to make. Great quilt - you've put a lot of work into it.

I like them both too - so it's a win either way, right?
it was really neat to see them all laid out - don't you love them? you must be proud.

ha ha yes the first cut is the hardest!

I am drawn to the block with the beige center. I think I like it because it picks up color from further out in the block.

Your circle quilt is going to be STUNNING! I just love every scrappy block! (my 2 cents: love the red center) I have a whole bin of those lovely fabrics that need a project!!
