Hard choice I really like both of them for different reasons. I think I prefer the design of 1 cuz I just like that look, reminds me of Asian for some reason and I love all things Asian, I can picture the large print in the big blocks.

the 2nd one I like very much cuz of all the scrappy possibilities and looks fun to make.

Why not make both, decide which one you want to keep for a future gift or yourself and which one to gift.

I like the design of #1 and the color of #2.

I agree with Jodi.

I actually like #1 WITH the white sashing. I find #2 very busy. But I'm sure anyone you choose will be awesome.

I like # 2. Has many interesting shapes and colors for a child to explore.

I like the design of #1, but the colorful, scrappy look of #2. Maybe use the design of #1, but put the colorful corner blocks and maybe color in the 4 small blocks adjacent to the large center blocks. This would give it a little more color and variety that is often in baby quilts, but not be as busy as #2. Good luck and congratulations!

I think #2 would be my choice.

I like them both, but I do favor #2 because it just looks a little softer for a girl.
