It's your civic duty. You must vote. I have quite a few candidates, but I'm letting you vote for both the ones you like and the ones you don't like, whichever you'd prefer. (I often feel it would be a better use of my vote to vote against someone then for someone else. ) Some I've shown the block and a few examples of what it might look like; consider that you are voting on the block, and I'll later ask which design I should do :) Others you see the whole quilt. These are in no particular order.
Number 1: Simple blocks with a sashing. I'd probably do most of this as strips, not individual blocks as the lines show.

Number 2: I like this one for it's simplicity. It wouldn't have as many blocks as the lines show. Ignore the lines (from here on out, that's just a good idea...)

Number 3: Made of two more complicated blocks.

Number 4: Very similar to one above but no sashing.

Number 5: This could be arranged other ways, just an idea...

Number 6: Lots of ways to arrange this one.

Number 7: Note this also uses the yellow, the others would just be backed in yellow.

Number 8: This one looks like it uses the yellow, but that's actually green.

Number 9: I'm a little worried this block is too hard for me...

I have allergies/sinus issues right now and it sucks. So having you all choose my quilt will make me very happy.
Also- what size do you make for a baby? I can't remember what I did last time. Is a 40" square big enough for a lay-upon blanket? Too big?

OOh! I like #2 and #3. And 40" x 40" is plenty big -- most newborns are about 20" or so...
I like 1 and 6. I also have a book of baby quilt designs if you would like to borrow it, and not have to think about a design/size/etc.
I REALLY like #3, the small rectangles in the block add just enough to make it look more 'geometric art' than 'traditional quilt blocks.' Unless that absolutely not what you are going for.
I also like #2
#7 looks too busy for me, in any arrangement, even though there are less pieces than the #6 block. it must be the addition of a 5th color. or the fact that I don't usually like purple and yellow together.
I vote for #1 and #2, and unvote for #7.
I'm anti-Angela. I don't like 1 or 2 and I like 7, Quadrant III. Maybe because it has the yellow I picked.
My eye keeps getting drawn towards #3, but I also like #1 and #2. I can't wait to see what you choose and how it turns out :)
Hope you feel better soon so you can get started on this masterpiece!
I like #2, followed by #5 and #6.
