I like them both but prefer #2. Your quilting will be showcased better.

I do agree!

If it were me, I would personally also consider the difference of making 30 squares vs 50 squares. They look very complicated and time consuming. Is time a factor for you?

Not quite sure how old your son and soon to be DIL....but I have found when I make a quilt in my opinion is pretty...some of my daughters will pipe in "mom it's beautiful but too busy"....on that note I would have to say the second one....they are all very beautiful
