1 is the one that I like the best

#1 deffinately, the eye moves nicely through the composition and the staggered set lends intrest.

If it were me, I would try laying the four squares as you have them in layout option #2, but use the dark purple as the outside borders. I think the turquoise squares facing the center would make a good focal point, but I have better luck trying my squares on a design wall and living with it for a couple days : ) or taking a picture with my camera and looking at all four on the computer, even in black and white.

I actually didn't like any of them. I would see how Option # 4 would look with the blocks turned so that the darker fabrics were in the middle and the light fabric would look on the outside near the dark border.

Option one definitely

I like this ^ idea.

I like 1 but would pull the squares in from the outer edge so there is a narrow purple around the outside to connect the 4 squares together optically.

I like option 2.

I think I like #1 the best, but they are all pretty.

I agree with Kenmore Gal - Option 4, but turn the blocks so the blues are in the center. But you need to do what pleases you. I just happen to like conformity - #1 and number #3 would make me want to "fix" the arrangement all the time, like constantly straightening a picture that gets a little crooked. Love the color combinations, though..

I'm on the #1 bandwagon! Even without reading the other votes, that was my first instinct!

I like option 1 - interesting and appealing to me

Did you try it will all four bright pink florals in the middle, blocks together?

It will form a "spinner" or an offset T in the middle.

Well that was my first reaction, too! LOL If you want a look of purple maybe try using lavender. To my eyes the purple is overpowering and steals the thunder from the pretty blocks. I agree that turning the blocks with the dark to the center would be pretty, too.

I like option #2.

I like the first one.

I like # 4 best, but any of them look good. It depends on what you want to higlight.

option 1 is the most interesting and visually exciting.

I absolutely love #2. Almost makes a cross in center .

Option # 1. Asymetrical is more interesting.
 

Option # 1. Asymetrical is more interesting.

Wouldn't that be the same as Option #2 except that the squares all touch in the center? If so, I like that option the best.

I like option #1

# 1 for me.

I always take a photo (that I can delete afterwards) as you have of several layouts and see which one I like the best. I once made a KS Bargello and NO one found the one 12in piece that was upside down until after it was quilted and I took a photo. It stood out like a sore thumb! I like your #1 also. Smiles, Brenda

I like Number 1

I like #1 also.

I am going to vote for #2

No.4 or No 1 both eye caching !

How about option #2 only pull your squares to the middle using the background to form a smaller cross way in the center but also have a boarder around outside.
