I like the first layout as the eye follows the zig zag. Very "in" right now...and the colors are nice and peaceful.

Love the fabrics and layout #1 is mychoice. He will love it either way.

I like the second one - I don't often see the rail fence laid out like that. I see light, medium and dark. A dark border will pull the dark out of the quilt. He will love it.

I vote for #1. I like your fabric choices, too!

They would both make nice quits. I think no.1 is my choice if I were to make this.

Both are pretty. My vote is number 2, I have never seen that design.

I love the soft colors and both layouts! I think if I had to pick a favorite, I would pick #1.

For some reason No. 1 seems more fitting for a man.

I agree with toolazy tough choice but I like the first one better.

I like #2. Maybe border it with a dark brown
