    Dead bunny Dobson FTW! ("Daddy, why did you kill the bunny rabbit?")

    But I must say van Doesburg's designs have awesome quilting potential. I like the first one in particular.

    Well I like 'em both, and I'm going for Van Doesburg. It works out the same in the end. I like the mathiness.

    Hmmm, toss-up. I'll go with Van Doesburg.

    Definitely Dobson. The positioning of that gun is just too perfect. One can just imagine the precocious young son, "Don't you think you might be compensating a bit, papa?"

    I agree with Elizabeth--in fact, a recent draft for a quilt I was considering looked a lot like the first Van Doesburg, but with color--but what I like in a quilt doesn't always do it for me in other arenas. Besides, I think the Dobson ones are very speaking.

    What a thriller! Van Doesburg went ahead 6-1, before five Dobson votes in a row evened up the score. That puts us in to what we call a "tie," and means that both gentlemen will go into the pool of artists who win be taking on the Play-In Artists. You'll probably see them again in a year or so.
