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 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.
