The second one is very interesting. I like the way it flows. If you go with this, I am sure that your son will love it.

I also like #2. I have a hard time with scrappy too - I want to control it - therefore I have not made one either.

Seems the second plan gets the vote - mine, too.

Another vote for the second one..I really like the way the colors move your eye around and across...

Much as I like the controlled geometric look of the original Around the World (one of my favorites) the way this one moves is just spectacular, and could never be achieved in the original.

i love scrappy quilts!! I do like the 2nd photo of the multi diamonds though--maybe hubby would like it better if it had some sort of pattern to it! my hubby is the same way though!! i would keep it and tell him it's a picnic blanket!!HAHa

I like them both. Who cares if nothing matches, isn't the what a scrappy quilt is all about. Good work.

I like #2 a lot! But I would switch the blocks around a little because it seems like there are a lot of gold in the blocks to the left and a lot of pink at the bottom. I'd mix them up so they are truly scrappy, with nothing "matchy" at all. I love scrappy, but if it's not in a "pattern" with matching rows, then I'd like it better really mixed up! But that's just me!
