LOVE your 2nd version. Sorry you had to put all that work into this but I love it now and think it was worth the trouble. It has an all new look doesn't it.

I really like it, cn't wait to see it quilted by your darling hubby

Two is gorgeous !

Both are great, but I love your redesign!!

this came out really nice

Aren't you clever! Like 'em both, but 2nd version is snappier.

Well done on staying with it and not letting it end up a UFO. A lovely result.

Great job in changing the quilt top. I can see why you love it now......

I like both designs. I would have been happy with either one. Love the colors.

Great save. It is a lot of work to redo something but it saves a lot of money because it is not wasted and it ives a sense of satisfaction to know that you completed a difficult chore-taking it apart. I will be anxious to see how your DH quilts it.
