Double Irish Chain, opinions please
 

I am posting two sample blocks for feedback, please. They are not sewn, just stuck up on the design wall, so we can decide which way to go here. Thanks!

Here is a picture of my roomates's double Irish chain in progress. She likes design 2. I like design 1. #1 is probably going to win because it's MY quilt! The colors did not come out well. It's green and orange, the colors of the Irish flag. The white background is tone-on-tone shamrocks.

I think I like the first one better. I like them both, but I think the first one with the flowered blocks on the corners gives it a more "open" look and draws the eye toward the white block with the center flower.

Either way it's going to be very pretty!

I like the first one; it gives the floral center a little more support.

Like the 1st one

I like the Irish Chain look...#2

I like the first one.

I too like the first one. But either way it will be very pretty.

I like them both (LOVE this pattern) but really like #2 best

I really had to look at them both a lot -- then I looked at them thru my camera lens -- the # 1 seems to flow better with only one dark piece to follow
