The half drop give more definition to the plus signs. Beautiful.

[@marciaclifford7107]

When you said, "Ginger!," I immediately thought of Ginger on 'Gilligan's Island'! But usually, I think of the spice. One of my mother's sisters had red hair that was a lovely auburn by the time I knew her. Two of her kids were also redheads. My mom always hoped one of us would have red hair, but the closest she got was my sister who was/is a lovely strawberry blonde. However! Our fourth child was a red head. When he was in elementary school, when people would say something about his red hair, he would tell them, "My hair is not red - it is orange!" And true, it was quite orange. His daughter has lovely strawberry blonde hair, that is getting more strawberry as she is getting older. And you will notice, the word 'ginger' is never used as a descriptive word in our family. Thanks for the smiles, Pat. Also - I like the half-drop better, too.

[@leeannroberts9019]

I really like the blue/teal. Softer with all the strong colors. Love your plus blocks. Love the dark background. Wow you half drop is so cool.

[@sharonoconnor7769]

Watching this late, I like the orange-first, the aqua- second. Beautiful quilt so fun!

[@joycehermans7959]

I like the blue border. Your quilt is busy enough so it doesn’t detract from the main quilt. I like the staggered plus signs. More interesting.

[@jonijecklin4394]

Really love the "drop block" look, Pat. An added benefit is that the darker floral fabric is easier to see when dropped! What a neat idea!

[@leahholland6272]

Agree. Love the dropped look

[@suzyroy3360]

i loved black with polka dots without the dots lol! so id go with just a plain black! :D Love all your quilts xxx

[@TLStitches]

Love the half drop on the plus quilt and the blue/aqua was really nice for the border of the string bean quilt

[@sharonoconnor7769]

Love the drop block, I like one more block in width so you have 3 pieced blocks to frame the half/solid blocks. This is a really beautiful quilt for a baby quilt, looks like it goes up fast.

[@MaryanneN_]

I like the half-drop so much better, and it really does look more interesting!

[@melanietehan6560]

I love the pink option! But I always like wht you choose. Love the pattern, too. I thought I had too much going on to do this one, but I'm leaning toward bteaking down and getting out my scraps for a string bean quilt!

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Hello! I have had two busy days with sewing and grandkids and now I get to sit with my hand quilting and watch! You are such a wonderful treat. I hope you have a beautiful and creative week ahead! Thank you for posting this video!

[@ranaerunning6066]

The half drop is more pleasing and fits like puzzle pieces. Thanks, Pat, for all your sharing , And tons of info and teaching. Love it, love you!!!❤️

[@dottykupsky4831]

The quilt drop is great! And I like the teal, but I really love the yellow! If you can find enough yellow, I think that is by far the best.

[@beckythomas9521]

I like the light blue for the border and I also like the focus fabric being vertical.

[@carolemiller3701]

I like the pink for the string bean quilt. I think it makes the quilt pop. Like teal but it just seems to blend into the quilt

[@Ldsks7591]

The string bean quilt is so whimsical that I like the outrageousness of the polka dots! Such a delightfully fun quilt! The half drop is so much better on the plus block quilt.

[@doreensherk287]

I like the blue/aqua colour. In my eye, it calmed it.

[@carmenirwin6755]

I absolutely love the half-drop look. Super cute.

[@birdwatcher1957]

I'm normally not much of a "pink fan", but I thought it looked the best for the border. I love poka dots, but it overwhelmed the quilt. Whatever color border you decide on, it will be a great quilt.

[@lindaduplantis6199]

I like the half drop too. It probably will be easier and quicker to put together because less matching of seams.

[@quiltnana5]

I like the blue. The quilt is so colorful that it gives your eye a place to rest.

[@mindytaylor26]

I liked the blue aqua. Calms and gives a place to rest your eye. Also I really liked the dropped plus signs much better than straight across.

[@inejansen244]

The orange for the string beans and the half drop for your layer cake quilt. Thank you for all the ideas and options that you showing every day!

[@darlenerichter1013]

I love the black polka dot on your string bean quilt. I love the half drop on your Saturday quilt day quilt! You are so creative❤️❤️

[@gaylebenigar7883]

Truthfully, I haven’t really cared for your fabric choices for the string bean blocks. But , seeing it on the wall, it is stunning! Thanks for expanding my horizons!

[@sonjadalglish6544]

I liked the drop block look. What a great idea to make it fit the 60 x 80 size. I don’t know about the borders. But love the String Bean quilt.

[@cindybaker7543]

🙌 one of four redheads in my family of eight. But it wasn't always easy being one growing up. As a teen I got a lot of teasing. Now though I get a lot of complements. Over all I am still glad God made me one.

[@happynanna4749]

When I was young (in the 60’s and 70’s), it wasn’t desirable to be a redhead. The teasing and non-flattering comments were ugly, but sometime after adulthood, the trend changed. 🤷🏻‍♀️. Not sure why the tables turned, but it was a good thing!

[@lynnl6101]

My picks - Teal border lets the Tula fabrics be the stars. Half drop layout defines the plus images.

[@dot7146]

I started cutting out a Tula string bean quilt Friday. Finished sewing 30 blocks yesterday & laying it out today. It will be a graduation quilt for a great niece.

[@sophiastamatis9235]

Love the orange or blue strip. Either, pulls all the quilt together and centers the eye on the quilt.

[@christinemcelhaney504]

I like the polka dots and the half drop

[@sharonwilliams6787]

I liked the orange as a border fabric and lived the drop block for your quilt day quilt. Wow an awesome idea for combining quilt day with the Ukraine relief drive.

[@mariabean8627]

Wow doing the half drop makes it a much better design, I really love it 😍

[@stitchpenniesofficial]

The orange rules the day, Pat. It brightens the whole top and allows the blocks and pieced border shine the best.

[@misssassifras6605]

My vote is between orange or blue - both add to your quilt without taking the focus away from your quilt. The shifting of the blocks will also add more interest. Wrapping it in the navy will add a coziness to your quilt. I'm telling & sharing with everyone about your fundraiser to help support the people of Ukraine. Thanks for all you do to not only keep us "busy", also keeping us "in touch" with those in need and those who are helping them.

[@michellefrothingham4275]

I like the aqua color for border. It brought a calming effect when viewing all the blocks together.

[@jkoucheki]

Blue on the border for String Bean. It tones everything down just a bit. I like the orange too. Not crazy about the black and white polka dot. Too busy. I'm sure I'll like though anyway you decide to finish it. Now I see why my plus sign quilt was harder to lay out than the one you are making. My plus signs were all staggered. Drove me nuts. Half drop is MUCH better!!!!! You can see the plus signs. Otherwise, it doesn't look like plus signs.

[@sophiastamatis9235]

Love the half drop placement. Allows the eyes to travel along the whole quilt ❤️

[@gayleschaefer6300]

I liked the blue border strip. The blocks are very cute, but busy. The blue doesn't distract from the blocks, yet is complementary and soothing. It's just my opinion.

[@pamelabirch7081]

I vote for the blue or orange. Love the colors in this quilt!!

[@marilynpodoll3278]

Can you hear all of us nodding when you ask our opinion on something. I laugh at myself for talking to you like you can hear me. I love the half drop. and the boarder on the string bean I like the pink. Thanks Pat.

[@rachelburgener819]

I concur👏👏👏👏👏❤️😀

[@raisdbywolvz]

Oooh, pink border! And that half drop is super interesting. It changes the entire look. Thank you for the daily inspiration you provide while I enjoy my morning coffee!

[@sheilafruge60]

Orange makes the greens and yellows in the quilt stand out more

[@tammraneese3930]

I like the black and white polka dot but also the blue. It’s fun to participate in your quilts this way!

[@macaulkins]

You are so cheerful and start my morning on a wonderfully positive note. Thank you for sharing your ideas so generously!

[@vickyadams3007]

I also had a grandma named Mabel Leona, no she wasn't a red hair. Thank you for bringing up a nice memory of her we lost her in 1988.

[@dedyrae]

The half drop on the Lattice is a wonderful idea.

[@maureenhiggins5127]

Polka dots, or blue. Love the half drop!!!!❤ Just finished a wall hanging and a flower wreath for outside my apartment door. Needed some spring in NW MT.

[@debradawson3051]

I’m not an orange fan, but love it on the String Bean quilt. Stunning, and enhances all the other colors!

[@nancyandersen615]

Have to agree... ot a big fan of orange but do like as a border on this quilt.

[@karlabergwalker3332]

String Bean Quilt looks great! Teal or Orange for the border. Dots are a bit overpowering. Love the half drop on your plus quilt! The Be My Neighbor Quilt makes me think of Mr. Rogers and when my children were little. Now, they are adults and I have 3 grandchildren. Time went by too fast!

[@craftingaplannedlifejoanna9291]

Love the idea of the "half drop" block...great idea! Thanks for another inspiring video and great way to start my Monday!

[@denisegoff7794]

I love the black & white!!! It's a fantastic quilt💚💚

[@lindakQOV]

Yes, the half drops on the Plus quilt looks good.

[@janmunson7328]

Loved the orange on stringbean quilt. Also like the offset setting for Plus quilt. Love watching your videos.

[@cathiboosey2241]

I like the orange border on the String Bean quilt.

[@bratmamma]

I like the aqua best. Then the pink. Orange is ok. I just think the polka dot overwhelms the quilt. Love the quilt.

[@jeanniebrown82]

The half-drop is really nice Pat. It truly adds a touch of class.

[@barbnix4717]

I like the half drop because the blocks stand out on their own better and BONUS you don't have to match the seams!

[@jenniewren9351]

I like the half drop. I like the aqua border for string bean quilt.

[@dianedeecken7356]

Like the half-drop option with the navy background. Makes it flow better.

[@sandyheller5438]

I really like the blue. It’s really peaceful on the eye. I like the drop block. .

[@diretirednow]

I like the orange boarder on the string bean quilt.

[@annemarsaw1391]

I like either the blue or the pink for the border on String Bean mainly because its softer and lets the colorful blocks still be "the show". I vote drop block on the Saturday in Paris blocks.

[@karenpfeffer5071]

Love the half drop option!

[@elwynmcgaugh1129]

The best thing is knowing you will make the best choice and it will be ready to show quickly enough so we can remember all the choices you had in your thought process. I have learned so much from you-mainly don’t make up your mind first and refuse to consider other options. “We can (and should) do hard things!

[@terryblair966]

Your quilts are pretty. The show was great today.

[@surriela7101]

Love the polka dot border - its so vibrant. Great idea on the half drop - that really pops. I would make the extra blocks and then see if you can add a border ( or two) to get the right size for donating . I did not really like the string bean blocks but seeing them together - they look much better than single. Sometimes you just amaze me with your colours !

[@sharonbrewer7711]

Blue blends and goes best. It complements and doesn’t shout, "Look at me."

[@susankelley1427]

I like the blue on the string bean quilt.

[@deannanglesey2460]

I like the drop-down on the quilt..

[@deb7793]

I like the blue for your string bean border. It is subtle but lets the block fabrics shine.

[@barbnix4717]

I love color so for me to pick the blue probably seems strange. However as soon as you showed that one I thought, YES! That's the one. It fades to the back and let's the blocks be the star.

[@dottiebuckley2558]

I like the half drop. Breaks it up and seems more interesting

[@jokelly1762]

I like the orange for the string bean and yes for the half drop on the other quilt top.

[@johilpert9149]

I agree with the directional print going vertical and I love the half block drop for my 2cents🙂.

[@barbaram6303]

Half drop is genius!

[@BAFriend4]

The drop block looks great. On the String Beans, I really like the pink, Normally I am all about the blue but the pink compliments the blocks and makes a nice transition to the next border.

[@elizabethgilmon1419]

Black and white polka dot is my vote, the blocks are beautiful

[@lorettaclinton6604]

I like the blue, sort of calming.

[@ozziemyman]

I like the aqua on the quilt!

[@marygeorge9688]

Pink border. Half drop looks nice. Thank you for all you share us.

[@lorriemcdonnell7027]

Love the orange on the String Bean border!

[@rebeccasewing]

I definitely prefer the half drop on the crosses quilt.

[@susanrabcow2150]

Half drop is the most appealing

[@terrytt2932]

black and white polka dot, definitely! there are several others already sewn that are the same placed close together. But you really have to look. Don't sweat those too close!! I like the half drop!

[@vickyerhind]

I like the turquoise colour it's soft and makes the turquoise pop in the blocks .... Love your videos ❤️

[@reneeriley6629]

I like a white or cream in between the string bean and square boarders. Whatever you choose will be lovely! Yes on the half drop! Be Well

[@kathyburch9591]

I like the black with white polka dots because it does stand out!!

[@suegairson8898]

The black and white polk dot is best for your string quilt.

[@barbaram6303]

The string bean quilt is overwhelming to me…I would need more clam. I did love Saturday in Paris…but doing directional fabric to make it right ;would be something I would need to do!

[@patpalmer1337]

I like the aqua/blue with the String Bean blocks.

[@karena.2416]

Fabrics sometimes come together in scrappy quilts, don’t obsess over it. ♥️ just enjoy. The drop block is good 👍.

[@barbbrockevelt1691]

I like the blue/teal so that the pieced border stands out.

[@britgrammy2564]

I love the “Drop” layout!!

[@patreese4631]

Love the black and white polka dot!

[@rosewoodcreate]

I like the Aqua strip for the boarder. It doesn't complete with the other colors. It blends very well. Good Luck

[@marievaillant216]

Yes, the half drop looks great.

[@rebeccathompson4118]

I like the secondary pattern that appears with the half drop.
