A few years ago, after my dh's grandmother died and left a few quilts that she had made, that people who buy antique quilts, love quilts with lots of white in them. They go with everything, i guess. So I make some with white backgrounds if I'm giving them to someone that I think will take care of them and keep them in the family for a long time. Hopefully, they'll be worth some money oh in say a 100 years or more. LOL!!!

I say #1, #2 is a bit busy and takes away from the main blocks. I would put small blocks in each corner between your main blocks

I like this idea. I think there is a lot of white in the sashing, but the little squares on #2 make it very busy. But either quilt would be lovely and much loved!

I like them both, but I think #1 would be better.

Thanks everybody. I think I'm going with #2. I'll post it when it's finished. Haven't started yet cause I just ordered the fabric.
