Can you please tell me what you think about this layout of blocks in a quilt pattern?
I like the overall look of this quilt (the barn raising pattern I guess) but I'm not sure I like grouping the same blocks together in the formation that this quilt calls for. I know I can just mix it up instead but I'm wondering if others feel this grouping looks good (not sure if it is just my eye or fear of it not looking good).
If you were to mix it up (but still use a solid light back ground fabric) would you still have the four patches use the same print fabric or have 2 different prints per 4 patch?
Here is the quilt pattern I am talking about:

Just to clarify my post as it isn't clear at all, I mean that I'm not sure it looks good to group the same fabric within the formation of the 4 blocks like the linked pattern does (so that the 2 4 patches match and the 2 HST blocks match). I like the formation of the blocks just not sure about how the fabrics are placed.

I did a jewel box a few yrs ago, but did all scrappy but background was white. Just laid them out matching the corner four patches..... Looked good, and am now working on another one, same thing all scrappy, which is what I thought it was originally designed for.......good way to get rid of odds and end of fabric!
