January is Quilt-A-Long Time . . . What Do You Say???

Alright, the new year is fast approaching and it is going to be that wonderful time of year where all the Quilt-A-Long's start popping up.  Now if you have been around here for a bit, you know I love, love, love a good Quilt-A-Long!!!  The last one we had over 100 people participating, so fun!!!!  So I am thinking why not join the fun.  Of course, there will be lots of prizes, wonderful fabric bundles,  lots of size options, and yes, there will be one block quilt options (including a giant block!!!)  for those who want to join but are stretched thin on time ;)

And since you will be Quilting-A-Long, I figured you should get some say in the designing process :)  I decided to stick with a star design because they are always so popular. (See the previous Star QAL's Here)  So I was playing around in EQ and came up with a starting design and then changed around the color layout to come up with 4 options.  So now it's your turn.   Which design do you like??  Do you like a certain part of 1 but wish it were put in another??  Just throw out anything you want . . . This is your time to make your opinion heard ;)   (oh, and yes, these will have more color and prints, like the last QAL's but I kept them all the same for this part so we could focus on the design)

So . . . Here they are

Star Light Star Bright Version 1

Star Light Star Bright Version 2

Star Light Star Bright Version 3
 

Star Light Star Bright Version 4

So, what do you say . . . Do You Want to Quilt-A-Long with Me????

    I would love to join your QAL - never done one before! I usually just watch. I really like the gray in version one. It looks like it could be a manly quilt.

    Actually, they're all very nice, but I like number 4 the best. It'll be fun to do a quilt-a-long with you.

    1. Yes, I want to quilt along with you. Of course I do. You know I do.
    2. I cannot possibly choose one of those designs. They are all perfect. Let someone else pick, so I can say that's the one I don't like as much as the others.
    3. You know, of course, that I'm still trying to finish the top for your last quilt along, right?

    I really like the secondary patterns in number one, but the individual block of number four the best. Maybe put the center star from four into one?

    I would like to join! Sooo hard to decide, but I think I most prefer #1, followed by #4.

  7. Laurel09December 20, 2013 at 7:31 AM

    I like version one the best -- it feels like the blocks integrate with each other better and look like an integrated overall pattern when put together, instead of separate blocks, which I like. Thanks for hosting!

    2 is my favorite -- I like the pop that the additional color provides. My other choice ranking is 1,3,4.

    I really like all of them, with maybe #4 a little ahead because it has my favorite center star.

    Yay!! I was hoping you'd do another QAL soon! I love version 1 the most, but love how version 2 has an extra color thrown in. Not sure how another color would work in version 1 though...

  23. AlidaPDecember 20, 2013 at 9:11 AM

    Oh, no, please don't start another QAL, you are killing me! :) I already have 3 planned for next year plus two quilts of my own design... but how can I not join your?? ;) I like the clean look of the surrounding pieces of version 3... I think the other ones would be a little too busy if I use scraps (as I always do ;) ). But the star I think it could be the one in version 2... with a fussy cut square in the middle would be very cute!! And different from the previous starts in other QALs too :) but all of them are great!!

  24. Sarah @ Georgia Girl QuiltsDecember 20, 2013 at 9:28 AM

    These are fantastic and I love the color scheme you used!! Number one is my fave followed by 4, 3 & 2 in that order. I promised myself January was only for finishing up WIPS and starting the Vice Versa BOM over at Gen X...but now I might have to break that promise...

    I really like 4 & 3. The middle of 4 reminds me of a hunter's star!

  29. Kim @ TiesThatBindQuiltingDecember 20, 2013 at 10:13 AM

    I'm really drawn to #1 - clean and simple! And it makes a neat secondary pattern when joined into rows. I'd say #2 is my least favorite. I feel like there is too much going on.

  30. LyndaDecember 20, 2013 at 10:19 AM

    I like the center star of version 2 inserted into version 4 with all the center square pieces the same color.

    I've never done a quilt along. Looks like fun and I really like star blocks. I vote for #1, but like them all.

  40. Myra @ Busy Hands QuiltsDecember 20, 2013 at 10:56 AM

    I like the 8-point star of version #4 and would replace it with the star in version #1 as I like the outer part of version #1 the best.

    I would love to join your quilt-along if I have the time when it comes down to it. I love how well written your instructions are and all of the sizing options. Maybe some day you can write a star quilt book out of all of your tutorials!

    Today I am binding a custom king-sized quilt in your Star Surround pattern in Seahawks and Broncos fabric. It is one giant block 114" square. You can read a progress post about it here: http://busyhandsquilts.blogspot.com/2013/12/custom-king-sized-seahawks-broncos.html I will be posting the completed quilt, shams, and curtains in the next few days.

    I love all of them. If I were going to choose just one block to make a whole quilt, I would choose #1 because I like the secondary pattern that is formed. I want to do a QAL. I don't seem to get BOM's completed and I can try. Miracles still happen.

    I think you probably have enough comments to make a decision, but I like #1 because it looks more modern but can be used with other fabrics also for an entirely different look. That would be my pick. Thanks for your hard work.

    I will vote for Version #4. And maybe since I am seeing this at the beginning I can actually participate and make a point to keep up!!!!! Love that you offer smaller versions of the quilts! Thank you so much for doing that!

    #1 gets my vote due to the secondary pattern formed!

    I vote for Version 1! I am a new follower, and I LOVE the wonky version of your first QAL, which I have downloaded from Craftsy -- Thank you!! I would love to join the QAL -- I am in the midst of my first QAL now, and running behind. Hope to catch up right after xmas and be "clean" to start this one.

    Number 4 is my favorite -- it has great movement. I'd love to quilt along with this pattern.

    Looks like a lot of fun. My choice would be #4. It really pops.

  128. SarahDecember 21, 2013 at 6:21 PM

    I looooved your last QAL and was so sad I couldn't quilt... along! I was in the middle of a move and just couldn't make it work. Anyway, I love #4 because it reminds me most of the Star Surround QAL. I also like the secondary pattern of #1, since I'm trying to increase my FMQ skills next year. I'm pretty sure Santa's bringing me a juki!!! Anyway, I can't wait for the QAL!

    I really like the #2 design best. Its different and you could add any 3rd color or use grey as the background too: I love yellow.

    I like design version 4 but would add the bright yellow from version 2 to it, I love yellow color, it goes very well with navy blue and green. I would like to join your quilt a long 2014.

    I like 1 or 4. Four looks like a bit more work matching seams but I am up for the Challenge.

  146. AnonymousDecember 23, 2013 at 12:18 AM

    Hmm...I really can't decide between 1 and 4. I love, love, love how my one block design from the last quilt along turned out, and I think that both 1 and 4 could be equally gorgeous as one block designs.

    ReplyDelete
  147. SarahDecember 23, 2013 at 4:29 AM

    Ooh I've always watched along, but I've never participated, but a one block version I could possibly fit in! I like number 2 the best. Reminds me of tulips in the corners :)

    I just found your blog and love the idea of a quilt a long. I've never made anything large before and love the idea of quilting along with others on the same project. I love all your designs so will be happy with whichever one is chosen. Thanks for doing this and now I'm going to subscribe by email so I don't miss the start of it.
