Number one. Back off from the picture and look at the whole thing. That should help you decide.

i like the second one

number 1 for me

I like the first one - the outer blocks frame the inner block nicely. Depends on which one you like the best. I always ask my husband and then end up doing just the opposite of what he says. :0)

Both are very cute, and Number 1 is my pick.

How about a 3rd option -- in the 2nd quilt, rotate the corner blocks. That way the 'lines' connect.

#1 is more appealing to my eyes. A very cute quilt!

I like #1 as it showcases the center, but that said either one would work!!!!

I like both layouts. Guess you will have to pick.

I agrree with yngldy too!
