If you look at the 12" block, it looks like the yellow squares didn't hit the seam lines right. Actually they are right on the line...but... the last stripe in the blue stripe fabric is dark blue. It matches up with the more solid dark blue, so your eye reads it as a miss. I don't hate it enough to do it over again, but maybe I'll remember that for next time.
I love the depth that I see in the larger block. I took a cue from DeeCee's Prosperity block, putting stripes and darks where she did. I like that. I first tried that on my smaller block, but got the darks and lights reversed, so it didn't get that look.

Great blocks! It is so neat how each configuration of color gives such a different look and dimension. The look is different on the smaller block, but I like it too. I wouldn't redo the larger block either. Once I saw the last dark stripe as a stripe, my eye didn't read a miss any more. In person it's probably even easier to see the seam line there.
