Oh my gosh, both swatches look absolutely awesome and inspiring. But well… I’d vote for #1!

Have you tried changing the swatches to black & white/grayscale? Sometimes that helps with picking colors in the sense of whether you want something with more contrast or less contrast.

Oh, I do like #1! I’m interested to see how the tweaked #2 comes out, though.
But I seem to remember someone saying they were going to do “just one swatch, after lunch.” Hmmm.

Have you tried using a teleidoscope? I’ve never used one, but I’ve heard it’s useful when figuring out how colors look together.

I love #1. The colors just seem to meld together perfectly so you don’t see the lines of stitches, you see the pattern. I think you’re right with #2, that white line doesn’t work. What if you just took it out completely?

I just love the teal in #2. But I agree with you about the white stripe and the orange/red being too close to each other.
