I like either #3 or #4, but I'd rather not have the blocks bordered. I think it distracts. A border or binding in the purple would set it off perfectly.

Really ? Ok I am going to cut the white blocks today, put it on the design wall and see. I have a double bed and am thinking of trying to make this fit. lol It will end up lots and lots of white I am thinking

I like #4 best.

#4!!

#4 best!!

See if you like this:

med, dark, med
light, light, light
dark, med, dark

This is balanced, the med & dark both form "V"s

Just a thought. :)

I will try that. I got side tracked thinking I could put together some placemats first , quick and easy. LOL NOT!!!
I ended up trying to make 3 inch Ohio Stars to put in the corners. Tried to do it by paper piecing couldn't figure out what order to do it so decided to just piece them. Got them all sewn together and realized the outside 4 corners were all wrong. I made them dark and they should have been light. There was no star. So I am sitting here ripping them apart and then I need to cut 1.5 inche light squares and put them back together. Oh Boy!!

ooo lookie! :mrgreen:

here's another v pattern, without that row of same blocks

dark med light
light dark med
dark med light

all V's this one would work with any color combination switched, in any direction, left to right, or up & down.

yay!

I would make this in rows--three dark, three light, then three dark...either way, horozonal or vertical

There were 3 other suggestions that I took photos of.
Just to see what they look like
