I'm making a quilt for my 89yr old Father-in-law and (besides making a really bad choice on the fabric - not enough contrast with the colour etc), which layout is most pleasing? I think #1 is kind of plain and #2 is too busy. Right now they are cut in 8 1/2" blocks . Any help would be greatly appreciated (I hope the photo's upload OK)

I like # 2... The Zig zag of the Rail Fence pattern kinda distracting to an older person ,
I used to work in a Nursing Home and that pattern is confusing to ones with Dementia ...
I like the pattern on #2... But either are made with Love..

I love both also, but maybe the best decision would be choose the one with the best quilting design to enhance the quilt with, that you have in mind. In other words both quilt tops are great, what do you have in mind to quilt on the tops and which would look best when finished?
