Four Patch Posie



The Four Patch Posie craze overtook my online quilt guild.  This top is going to be a wedding present.  

Isn't it amazing how you can cut up one piece of fabric and get so many interesting kaliedescope designs for the blocks?

I auditioned some thread choices for the top.  A quilt with all of those colors provides a great opportunity to use a
 variegated thread that will sparkle across the shades of the top.  Here were the three choices:
This is a variegated thread called Lava from Superior Threads.  The color is "Fireworks" and has a color change each inch.  The colors include red, gold, green and two colors of blue!



Next is a blue variegated by Superior Threads called King Tut.  The different blues flow together like water.

The last photo is a solid red color which would also look nice but doesn't have as much "jazz".    Which one would you choose?  Guess which one my client picked?
