    I like the lighter one. How about the darker one on the back side of the quilt. Make it reversible.

    I agree use both blocks, they look good together.

    Both are nice, The second would be more for a baby, but you could do a border from the first for contrast.

    My first thought was that the first one looked nicer, however, mixing them together would make a great quilt and even if you use only the first one there is still a lot of contrast. In the end though, it's your quilt, although I've had times too when my brain doesn't want to decide. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

    Again, both are nice but I prefer the one on the right.

    I like them both about the same. One is more muted, one has more contrast, but I like them the same
