My vote is also #2

My vote is for #2 also.

I like the second one best.

I vote for #2 also.

LOVE LOVE your second picture. I don't think it would be over kill to use more colors in the binding it will be gorgeous when your done.

I like the 2nd one, myself.

The 2nd one. Beautiful work!! I love the bright colors with the black. Very striking.

I love the second option with the squares on point. It makes the quilt a whole lot more interesting. Using varigeted thread to quilt will still make a nice choice for quilting. When it come to color i think more is better.

I love the one with the squares on point. Colors are very pretty.

I think having the falling diamonds change colors so the color is between the colors of the row above and below them would look nice. Have a reddish orange between the red row and the orange row...a yellowed orange between the orange and yellow row..etc.

I like #2 the best but both of them are nice! Please post & show us your final choice.

I like the first example the best. The second one seems too busy and gives me an unsettled feeling.

I like #1.

I like the 2nd one.

i like how you have it set up in the second pattern it is really nice

The second one appeals more to me - has more wow factor!!

The second one is my favorite, but both are wonderful.
Great job :thumbup: :thumbup:

I with mom6; #2 really gives it a nice zingy finishing touch. No contest, IMHO.

Josi in FL

thats a good idea.

Me too.

Same here........adds movement in my mind.

Love #2 but like the first one too. I think I will visit my scraps and make one too. Thanks

I like #2

I think the one with the squares on point is the finishing touch for this quilt.

Andie

Love the second one. The squares on point really add something. The first one is sort of plain jane and predictable - which is okay, but the second really seems young and adventurous.

#2

I like them both but the 2nd one is georgeous

Whatever this means- I agree

Both very nice way to use up stash...I do like #1 the best. And, you have given me some ideas...

Either lay out if great in my humble opinion. Very eye catching quilt!

They are both great-pesonally I like the second photo with verigated thread.

i also like the on point borders. :)

I am with StewyScrewy and Prayerquilts. Number 2 is so much more visual and carries you eye around the quilt so you see the whole thing. I am saving this entry for a future project. Really like it a lot.

i like #2 best. i made one similar with the color bars with a print on a black background on the back and borders(kids quilt) i quilted it with black thread. i think verigated thread would be classy.

I love #2. I quilted an amish round and I used variegated thread and it really made this round POP. It was really pretty.My friend [part of the round robin group] loved it. The thread really stands out on the black fabric. Go for it.

I like the first one with squares straight set. It looks more artsy.

I like the second quilt. Please post pics and let us know what YOU decide.

Don't know if you have made you decision yet....but I like #2. It will be beautiful either way.

I like them both but feel that more color in binding would spoil both of them. Black binding will finish both nicely, like a frame for your work.
Please leave on point squares. You have done a lovely job on both quilts. Well done.

Absolutely love the top one! I just finished making a top out of flannel just like yours, only I didn't think of adding the squares on the outer binding. I wish I had. Yours looks great! I don't think the pieced binding would be overkill. why not make just a few inches of it and try it to see what you think? then show us pictures again. I love what you did. Good job.
