The 2nd one is more visually appealing to me

I prefer the first one.

I like them both and it will be difficult to imagine what they will look like, (for me) but I'd probably go with nr. 1 even though i tend to like the darker on the outside and make the inside chain lighter.

But I think in this case, I'd go with the darker on the inside. But, either will be beautiful. When you only look at one block, it doesn't make a statement, but as a whole, it will be wonderful!

I like the first one the best.

I like the 2nd one better, the flowers in the corner of #1 seem to be lost to me

I really like the solid corners better than the floral corners.

I'm taking a break from piecing a double Irish chain at the moment to check the board.

I like them both but I would have to say #2.

I like number 1 better.

Ditto. Nice fabrics!

Well, for a female, I'd pick #1 for the open airy look, but for a guy I'd pick #2 for it's more solid robust look. For me, I'd pick a Triple Irish Chain and add another row of the leaves to #2.
