My eyes are starting to glaze over after looking at all these pictures!
The seam in the 3-block solution is through the white diamonds that radiate from the center of the 1-block solution. I can't tell whether there's a seam there in the original quilt. Either solution will work, but I just would prefer not to have that seam in the diamonds if I were making the quilt (which I'm not).
