Help needed with layout
I really need your advice. I made this quilt that is similar to Radio Way: http://www.jaybirdquilts.com/2011/10...t-pattern.html.
I wanted something different and I laid out my blocks like this. Which way do you think looks best?? THANKS (PS: I ran short of fabric but was able to find another strip so the bottom two blocks are finished.)

I think the uniform block layout is cute, but I would maybe add an extra sashing in white to break up the color a bit. I'd strip piece it with the teal & then cut it to whatever size I needed (doesn't even have to have the same amount of teal or white in each one).

I like the layout of your batiks to make this quilt. I like the analogous color scheme- it is peaceful. I would question the use of the lavender that appears only in the bottom row. I like that pattern very much.

I must be a traditionalist but I prefer the layout in the original pattern in which the strips are in the same direction in each row... but I like that each row changes direction. JMHO
I love your selection of batiks and color story.
