29. El q más me gusta es el de colores verdes y marrones, es más del estilo de Yoko Saito y sus telas japonesas.

30. I like them both, but the taupe one really makes my heart sing. I, too, have been collecting Japanese taupes and related fabrics and am waiting for the perfect project. Maybe I’ll find it in this book.

39. Love the red and black block. Thanks for the great giveaway

40. I like the red one!

41. I like the taupe one the best. I like the color red, but I think the taupe one is more inviting and easy on the eye. Colors don’t jump around so much with the taupe.

42. I like the taupe one, the subtleness is what grabs me. Soothing to look at!

43. I think I like the contrast of the red one better. Perhaps I’m just not used to the Japanese way of doing things.

45. It is hard to choose they are both great – but if I had to make a choice I would pick the taupe.

46. I like the taupe. Well done on making both.

47. Lately I have logged into Japanese quilting. So it was funny to see your post. I would love to win this book so I could learn. They have such great talent over there.

48. Even though I consider myself a contemporary quilter with modern leanings, I love the traditional block. Beautiful work

49. Love the taupe block; it really speaks to me.

50. thanks for the opportunity to win. I have a stack of her fabric waiting to start a project

51. I vote traditional Japanese taupe. nice work!

52. Love the taupe block!! They are both very nice though.

53. While I do like the taupes, I love that you tried it in modern, bright colors. I think I’ll have to try some of her other blocks in modern colors.

54. I like the red and black one! Just because I’m not a fan of neutrals!

55. I love them both – and would like them both! The pop of red would bring such color any kitchen, but the neutrals would work to keep the earth tones balanced. Great work !

56. My favorite is the taupe however they are both pretty

57. I like the red one the best as it is nice and bright.

58. I like both but the taupe one is the winner for me!

63. I too am a fan of Japanese patchwork and love the taupe block. This would be a wonderful book to have!

66. I like both your blocks. The taupe is for when you need calm and the red for when you need excitement ! My dream is to one day make Yoko Saito’s patchwork town.

67. My favorite colors are the red and black, but my favorite block is the taupe, I think because of the lower contrast between the colors, it makes my eyes spin around the block. Thanks for the giveaway!

68. I like the taupe one better, but both are nice.

69. I like the taupe one best…I have a small collection of taupes that I’ve been saving, and your block tempts me to start using them.

75. i really like the red – it seems to make it pop with the black. i like the taupe also, but the red stands out a bit more!

76. I like the red one better! I just love how the color really pops compared to the more neutral background 🙂 I agree with you though, both are pretty!
