Your two versions are very good looking Jo but I prefer the 1st. one.
I'm with Renata about the color-ways you shared Sue. The turquoise and fuchsia is beautiful!
Red and white is very elegant and classic Rita. Sure will be a great quilt.
Margo, your khaki and red version sound wonderful too. I' don like the striped sashing on the original version. I ordered the kit but, the bright green and red are just too much for my taste and most definitely will change those colors for sure. The way you're changing yours sounds very good, might have to "borrow" that idea too!
