When I look at your picture and then visualize them in my mind's eye, I see two different quilts out of those very simple but beautiful blocks.
The White sashing calls out summer and sunlight and old fashioned bedrooms. With a larger white border you could make it more 'feminine' and old fashioned with a little applique to break up the white.
The blue one is more comfy cozy snuggly in the winter type of quilt. Corner stones in the border is what jumps at me and I see a little homespun or small plaid for those and the binding.
With all the advise and varied comments you have received, I think the message we're sending is ..go with your feelings, Well done! and don't be so hard on yourself.
