How shall I arrange these?
I have been hit with indecision. I made all these blocks for an X's and O's quilt but now I can't decide which way I like best to arrange them. I am in need of oppinions to help me decide. Thanks!
First I have matchy X's and O's
[ATTACH=CONFIG]408960[/ATTACH]
Next I have random X's and O's
[ATTACH=CONFIG]408961[/ATTACH]
Then there's the matchy all X's (which also maks O's)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]408962[/ATTACH]
and last but not least random all X's (with O's ofcourse also)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]408963[/ATTACH]
I put these all together at once so I could see them all next to each other and there are not the exact same # of squares of each fabric so the last pic or 2 are not exactly how they would be in the quilt, but I think it gives a good idea anyway.
I'm kinda leaning toward either matchy X's and O's or random all X's, but I really would like some other oppinions.

Actually... maybe arrange from bottom up... putting a few darker ones towards "bottom".. like the dark X's and O's...as it gets "higher" get lighter..and more Loose ..no complete X's or O's on "top".....like they blew up there.... just a thought..

I like what I call "planned random" for a project like this. So what I do is place the darkest and lightest first then just fill in with the medium ones. Works out great most times. May require a bit of tweaking sometimes if i discover something doesn't look quite right but that is minimal.
