And

[ATTACH=CONFIG]368433[/ATTACH] OR

I agree. Not sure it will matter much in the finished product, though.

Sometimes switching up the orientation of the patches works and makes the block more interesting.

I don't think these fabric combos makes that happen.

All great fabrics, btw, but my preference would be for keeping a consistent orientation for each fabric.

But it's your quilt so........

On the first set, I like the 2nd orientation, but the bottom middle square needs to go horizontal to match up???? I don't like them all jumbled, not as easy on the eye, Now who wins?

Yep, that's my vote too, particularly if they want to play with eachother.

Yes, that bottom middle square needs to be rotated. I noticed that after I took the picture. I like the second orientation in the first set and the first orientation in the second set. Hubs likes the 2nd orientation in both sets.
