I usually have fairly balanced quilts (like A thru C) if I'm working with shapes likes squares or rectangles and/or doing something "checkerboardy", but when I do something like an OBW I usually end up arranging things so that one end is "heavier" than the other, more like D or E. All the darks up in one corner, all the lights in the opposite corner...something like that.
Where does a bargello fall in this? They're one of my favorite types to quilt to make, and I'm not really sure where one of those would fit in. All the swoops and curves provide a lot of movement, which to me suggests it's not really balanced.
Are balanced quilts more calming, and unbalanced quilts more "active"? I kind of think so.
Interesting topic.
