I have the devil's own time trying to decide which lens is clearer when getting new glasses! I like b best, but both are nice. I did a drawing like this when I was up north, except I had squares of a focus fabric and 4 patch mixed in the picture. Loved what it looked so I started making blocks, well I found that I had to do 9 patch instead of 4. Guess you have to take into consideration that 2 1/2 inch strings do not make a 6 1/2 inch 4 patch! Top turned out cute.

Definitely, definitely "B". My eye roves all over the place when I view "A" looking for a place to rest....kind of makes me nauseousl

I believe it depends on your color and fabric choices. Will it be all solid or scrappy all over. Will the large square be scrappy all over or the same fabric. Same for the strips. It is hard to visualize the finished quilt and how colors and fabrics play together from a black and white line drawing.

When it is close - I usually choose the one I like "better" - even though - as far as I can tell - the clarity of the view is about the same to me.
Yes!!! I hate that! They should switch to asking which quilt layout you like better. That is easy.

In this case I like A, more movement. I am sure either will be great though.

B has more continuity, more put together.

Both designs work well, it really just depends on the fabrics you use and how they work together.

Hmmm, I was going for A until you turned it. Then I picked B What appeals to me is the opposite orientation to the layout. That is, if the quilt is to be hung vertically, I like the bars across the top row to be horizontal. If the quilt is to be hung horizonally, I prefer the top row of bars to be vertical.

If it's to be a lap quilt (in which case it'd be used "vertically" ), then A.
