There's nothing wrong with either although I like design #2 best. Tell DH to be careful or the next thing you scrap might just be him! LOL Once they're quilting they'll look even better and if they're from Mom they'll be well loved.

I like #2 my self. Here is one I did for DGS with sashing. I just love the mismatched scrappy look myself. This is more "organized scrappy" in that I arranged the color of the pieces, but it would work well with yours.

I also like layout #2 best. I LOVE scrappy quilts! Once it gets sewn together I'm sure you'll like it. They always seems to take on a life once the tops are completely done.
GrammyP: your scrappy is most excellent! :thumbup: :D

I didn't like it as it hung on my design wall so I took it down and put it on the bed to play around with matching the blocks. The first picture is as one diamond. The second is multi-diamonds. Believe me the pictures look better than the actual quilt. Please, please, please, any suggestions on how to revive this and keep it from a UFO box? I've already got over 20 hours into this. I joked with my husband that maybe I'd finish it and give it to my son for his birthday - he's a of a scrappy kinda guy.
We are looking at these with fresh eyes and you have done a great scrappy look with these. :XD:
Borders those babies up with some solids or solid-reads and somebody is going to enjoy them!:-D
