Default 3 Different color schemes

I ordered this fabric called Blackbird Acres. I got 1 yard of each color and 2 yards each of the sashing and a beige checkered print. I also ordered two of the panels. Each panel has 15 seed packet pictures and one banner. I figured this up in EQ as a way to use them for wall hangings. Each of these uses 9 seed packets so I'd be able to make 3 wall hangings, they are 35" x 40". Or I could make two wallhangings with the banners and use the rest of the seed packets for placemats, pot holders, etc.

Which is more visually appealing? #1 with each block a different color? #2 with each a different color but all the same colored side squares? Or #3 with all of the blocks the same two colors?

I'm still trying out different blocks to set the seed packet square in but this is my general idea.

I like them all but if they are being looked at for boldness, #1 is the most drama (boldest), #2 bolder, and #3 bold. It looks like this will be fun to make.

I like them all too, but would pick the first one if I got to choose one. I like the variety of coordinated colors.

Maybe it's the hour and my eyes aren't' focusing yet but I have a hard time focusing on the seed packets in #1 - I think #2 is visually more interesting than #3. But it is an adorable pattern and as a veggie gardener I would love one - combines my two favorite interests!
Good luck - it will be a very attractive wall hanging whichever you choose!
