I love them both, you have the true version of a scrappy quilt, and you were correct in what you told your husband, it isn't supposed to match; did the quilters of yester-year worry about patterns/colors matching, they worked with what they had and made some of the prettiest quilts still around today...I love what you have done, you should be proud; either version would be great and I for one would be proud to display it on any of my beds any day of the year...if you decide to put it in the UFO bin, PM me and I'll take it off your hands and finish it...I think it's great!
