I vote, dancing.

I like the first one because the shadow effect complements the wide variety of very interesting fabrics. To add the element that makes them dance causes a loss of visual unity and focus.

I like them both. I prefer rectangle shape for placemats. You really want to keep them quick to make or at least that is how I did things out here in CA to keep the price down.

This is interesting. So far here, it's 12:7 in favor of straight grid. On a fb group it's 8:10 in favor of dancing. I love the comments! Your ideas are things I think but can't find the words to express. I'll tally again when I get home from work. Looks like I'll be making some of both.
I'm wondering if the preference would change when a different fabric is used. Thanks for your help! |

Chalk up another vote for dancing.
|
Here is an ambiguous answer. I liked the Straight set in the single picture but the Dancing side by side. So if you are making a single quilt I vote for Straight.
|
I prefer the dancing one too! Nice!
|
The OCD viewers will go for the first one! Love them both and always nice to see something different!
