I also like the narrower sashing and Who ever I vote for usually wins!

This is my thought exactly. More delicate and feminine.

Actually, all you are getting is a depth perception. I LOVE BOTH, but I really like the thinner one.

My preference is for the wider, but the narrow looks ok too.

Love the fabrics...seems like I have some of the floral in a burgundy color. I love the narrow one...just seems to flow better. IMH(whatever that's worth!)

I agree! And please tell us some sizes. Either way, they are beautiful!

For me....I like the thinner....they are still the same size...depends on what you want your quilt to say...Larger size says "I'M here" !!!!! Thinner says : "i'm here" dainty or bold ????
