The second.

I vote for the same direction.

I like the first one, it is the unexpected. I think your eye also sees different things.

i think the first one will lose the hearts design once sewn together, so i vote for the 2d

I like #2.... I like the quilt! I like the colors! and I like the person responsible for it all!

#2 is best. #1 is confusing to the mind :)

I prefer the second.

I prefer the first layout.
The first layout is more graphic and versatile in my opinion and has a more interesting secondary pattern. I think that the second layout emphasizes the heart shape the most; if you want the hearts to be the focus then the second layout may be better.

I vote for the 2nd one also!!

I like the 1st
