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..
