What do you think?

The blocks above are going to be for a swap, and I'm trying to decide how to arrange them -- actually I'm just playing with them over and over because I'm too lazy to go and trim them all! They're all the same blocks but the photos were taken at different times so only the one in the upper right is "real" color, and that's the arrangement I'm leaning towards. Comments?

And here is this week's creation for the Friday Block Party -- it's called Wyoming Trails, and it was a pain to make!

I like the barn raising block, the upper left.
The Friday blocks is gorgeous, perhaps it was worth the effort?

I like the zigzag block, but my favorite is the one in the upper left. Very cool Friday block too!

Vicki W said...

I like both if the ones on the right. I also like that other block - even if it was a pain!

I like either of the top two blocks -- very graphic. Love the fabrics.

One and Four.

The 2nd block is a bit more contemporary and not so obvious.

I also like the Wyoming Trail block.

upper left is my vote!

Violette Severin said...

The top right is my favorite. Wish it was coming to me . . . Sixteenfold.

Morah said...

I always, always lean toward the upper left setting....sorry!!!!!

Tami said...

I vote for the lower right layout. It seems to have a lot of energy and circles your eyes both to the center and then outside.

The Wyoming Trail block is a nice one ... it looks fantastic in the fabrics you chose.

Oh yes...the top right layout is my favorite! The top left and bottom right are nice too, but I've seen them lots of time. I've never seen the top right and it is cool!

Purple Pam said...

I like the bottom right. I also like all the purple I see in your photos! Yeah! A purple sister! Your Round Robin quilt is great. I like the idea of how they progressed.

Quilts And Pieces said...

Wow,they all look cool, but I would go towards the bottom right. But then everyone will have a different opinion.
