Your final layout is beautiful and more visually appealing. Confusion is gone. Good for you!

Marion,

I like that one. It looks perfect with all the borders going the same way.

I really like your final layout, too. It is visually more appealing than the others.

Thanks all! It would have been tossed had it not been for people on this forum! I was so ticked at myself for messing up!

I like the second one better it feels less busy to me and flows better into the Snail's Trail in my eyes. Thanks for sharing these lay outs. I am getting ready to make the Snail's Trail for the first time and it is very interesting to see your presentation of ST's

Final layout is perfect. Isn't it amazing what you can do with the same blocks--one is o.k. and the other is inspired and so well done. Congrats!!

Your final layout looks great and really enhances the flow of the pattern - It has good cohesive movement that works together.
I like the colors that you used - very striking!
Yes I agree that the members here are terrific and are so creative with sharing and helping each other!!
