Help needed with layout
 
1 Attachment(s)
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 like the way you have it laid out. Makes it look like the strips are woven. I also like the pop of color your number tags add. Would you consider adding a few small applique flowers?

​I like your layout, pretty blocks!

Looks good to me as you have it.

I think it looks great as you have it. Nice fabrics with a cool, serene look!!

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.

I agree with this, but also thought there was something else different about yours and hers. I figured out it was the white background. With that really light background, the blocks pop out much better. The darker background makes your eye go to the teal squares.
They are both very nice, so do what you like.
