yep first block, sounds like you got a winner!

If you turned each centre block around one, it would form a pinwheel effect?? that might look good too!! :D

Love your fabric choices alot - cute or what!!! :D :D

This is what I am using for the backing.

add my vote for #1, please.

i also vote you make one for me. :-)

i liked the first one too and what Izy said about the pinwheel effect sounds good!

I agree, the 1st one

I also like the first variation too. And Toni, I want to thank you!!!! I have a striped piece similiar to yours and did not know how to use it and now I do. Have some ripping out to do, but I think the end product will be worth it!!! Thanks again!!!!!!!!!

I love your backing fabric! Have you decided which way you're going to go with it?

I like the first one also, I think white on the border with a small print or dot would look nice for binding.
