Please tell me which layout you like, and if you can think of other ways to arrange the squares. This part is FUN!!. There will be two posting (5 Pics). Might take a few minutes to get all the pictures up.
There is another possible arrangement. Not sure if the article is from Anita Grossman Solomon ...but I have a book of hers that shows this technique (with only 2 cuts) which she calls the X-centric & Concentric blocks from stripes. If you have a chance to have a look at the book...it is on the first chapter....and there is a lady that completed her quilt using this same technique which you can find here

... which, I am also working on one using the same material (sucker to that purplish colour LOL!) after I saw hers....
All your arrangements are just beautiful...it creates different illusions on every single one ... :) Hope to see your fully completed quilt once you have decided :)
