I started playing with some blocks yesterday and came up with this. Do you like setting 1 or 2 better

I think I prefer the first one, but it really depends on whether you want a quilt with more black (2nd) or more white (1st)

Either one looks nice but I do agree with "Quilting Vagabond" that I see more black in the second one. Which one do you like?

I think I could tell better after you have more blocks made.

It does look different when you turn the black and white units around.

If we are voting, I like the first one. But I like both of them just fine.

I prefer more white than black but honestly, either one is really pretty!

Love the first layout. In the second, the blacks melt into each other, which is why people are perceiving it as having more black. I prefer the blacks not touching each other, as in your first layout. I think you've got a winner there! :thumbup:

I prefer second, I like more black together than more white together.

On first look, I'm going with the layout 2. I like that it appears to be a black and white quilt with pops of color rather than the other way around .

I also like #2. I Like the layout better with the white diagonal.

I like the 2nd one best. I think the little white blocks look great running diagonally thru the top.

I like the 2nd one. Like how the small white blocks are lining up.

I like layout 2 as I think the ‘increased’ Black makes the colours pop more.

I agree with RJLinkletter.

The second reads more black and white, so the colors pop the most! I also like the first one if you wish the quilt to read more white. Both lovely. Make more blocks and then take a photo and see what you think.

#2 looks quite complicated so I like it best.

While they both look great, I too prefer #2. Layout #1 appears to be scrappy with the consistent feature the diagonal of random color while layout #2 as zozee commented appears to be a Black and White Quilt with pops of color. I see in #2 a diagonal of White accentuated by alternating Black and Color. Always interesting to see what rearranging the blocks will do!! Both will look great!!

I like them both and think either will make a very striking quilt. However, I do think the black in the second one, set as you have done it, make the color patches pop out to make a 'nice statement'. I do think when you have more blocks to arrange that your best choice will become more apparent.

Once you get more blocks added, you will find that the black blocks will make diagonal lines and so will the white, no matter which way they go. I would make many more blocks and then lay it out and take a picture. Probably won't make too much difference.

Is this a D9P?

That's a hard one, but I prefer the second.

I think the first layout catches my eye the best. While the second one is attractive enough, the first one says "wow!" More blocks would make a decision easier to make for me, though.

I like the second one better.

I like # 1...…………….

I like 2, colors seem to pop.

I like #2, has more flow...easy on the eyes.

Number two jumps out at me.

I like number 2 best because the white chain stands out against the black background.

Both are nice, but I like #1 the best.

I agree. Love the "chain" effect.

I like the second one best.

I like the second one. To me it is more organized. I had a hard time picking out the pattern on the first one but it jumped right out at me on the second one. Gave my eyes something to focus on.

I too like the second one. I like the little white squares running diagonally. But it's whatever one you like the best. Both look great.

I like the second one but both are nice. Which do you prefer?

I like #1 best..... Perhaps make more blocks, and laid out you'll get a better idea of which way you want to go.

The first one

I actually like them both!

I prefer layout #1, it is more interesting and creates a sense of movement, whereas #2 seems static to me.

I like the first one! It seems more orderly to me; the second one seems frenetic. Isn't it funny how we all perceive patterns differently?
