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

Next I have random X's and O's

Then there's the matchy all X's (which also maks O's)

and last but not least random all X's (with O's ofcourse also)

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 the first picture best but they are all pretty. The first picture kind of moves my eyes around the top in an interesting way to me.

I like the first one best. But be sure that the darker colored gray blocks are evenly interspersed throughout the quilt.

I vote for the last picture.

I love them all but my fav is the first picture :)

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.

I feel like I'm at the eye doctor's office ... which is better #1 or #3. I like both!

I too like the first one. the bottom two both can look like X's. I was thinking maybe of on point?
