Default please help me decide layout on triangle quilt

I am improvising the Chopsticks pattern by Jaybird Designs. I had the ruler but not the pattern so guessed at the size of the strips and triangle units. Anyway, I can't decide on a layout. I am truly torn, I like all layouts and just can't decide. DH likes triangles and diamonds but recommended I change around some color placement in the triangles layout. Doesn't like the light floral right under the paisley print in the lower right corner on the last two photos.

Please let me know what you think.

Here is the RANDOM layout

Here is the DIAMOND Grouping layout
[ATTACH=CONFIG]451970[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]451971[/ATTACH]

And here is the layout with each fabric grouped in TRIANGLES

Wow, that is a tough one. I think I like the random, but they are all great layouts any of them will make a lovely quilt.

It will be a beautiful quilt! I do like the high contrast parts the best ... the turquoise/aqua next to the green and orange/peach. The cream-based green/turquoise/orange, the yellow flowered and the cream-based orange/peach print could be rearranged so that there is more contrast in colors. Maybe switching the green and the one just above it (cream-based green/turquoise/orange) or switching the green with the orange/peach based print above the white/turquoise blocks. I hope this makes sense ....

On second thought, I like the middle picture the best! Lots of contrast there.

They are all pretty but I think I like random best. In the groups, unless they worked out perfectly over the whole quilt, it would bug me.
