They are all beautiful but I like the last one (each fabric grouped in triangles).

I totally agree! Mid photo.

Maybe switching the green and the one just above it (cream-based green/turquoise/orange) or switching the green with the orange/peach based print above the white/turquoise blocks. I hope this makes sense ....

On second thought, I like the middle picture the best! Lots of contrast there.

I like random the best!

Definitely the random layout.

I don't like random at all, it doesn'tseem to have any rhyme or reason. But either of the last two are really good.

I think you fabric selection is fantastic !! I like the random the best. I go nuts if the same color is too close but that is why I consider myself a maniac with pride !! Good luck.

I definitely like the random layout the best. When you have such a variety on value, I find I like to mix it up.

fangman 12-16-2013 07:52 AM

I like the random also.

I like all of them but that light floral doesn't seem to fit in. That's just mho.

marcycn 12-16-2013 09:40 AM

Random :-)

I agree with random. But all are great, you can't go wrong.

canmitch1971 12-16-2013 09:51 AM

I like the random..

borntoquilt 12-16-2013 10:08 AM

To get truly random - which I like the best, BTW! - put all triangles in a big paper bag, toss them around REAL good, stir em up and start pulling them out one by one. THAT will be your layout..... of course, there are always a few that don't want to "play fair" and you'll have to put them where YOU want them.... lol !!! It is gonna be beautiful whatever you do!

kayluvs2quilt 12-16-2013 10:12 AM

My vote is for random.....

MargeD 12-16-2013 10:13 AM

They are both great, but I think I like the first layout better.

joy tippit 12-16-2013 10:13 AM

I am new and I see that the majority like the random but I have to go with the diamond layout. it has visual pop! any way you set it though it is going to be beautiful

VernaL 12-16-2013 11:13 AM

layout design

I also like the diamond layout, but the light triangles don't seem to go with the others that have more contrast. I would replace them with triangles that have more contrast like the other triangles. But, if you really like them and don't want to make more, I would go with the random. They don't stand out as much. Just my opinion.

piepatch 12-16-2013 11:38 AM

First of all, you have a very pretty quilt! I like the third picture best, with the diamond and triangles, and I guess I am agreeing with your husband when I say the light floral print seems out of place in the quilt..........just being honest here, but I love your colors and pattern.

maxnme01 12-16-2013 11:50 AM

Definitely RANDOM. Those four light color diamonds blend better. Love the quilt. Post when completed please.

Perfect. Now I know why I only like the random. lol

debbiemarie 12-16-2013 01:36 PM

I like the random layout because the light color diamond shapes are too light in color.

GrannieAnnie 12-16-2013 02:08 PM

I'd have to do random. I'm not turned on by any of the triangle arrangements.

LOL, I've done that before, and more than one color will end up with a twin no matter how random you'd like to be. I'd go for the paper bag and then make a few adjustments.

alisonquilts 12-16-2013 02:26 PM

I NEVER like random best...but this time I do!

I agree with everyone else, though - whatever you choose will look lovely.

PS I'm guessing that by this time you have more time invested in rearranging the blocks in different layouts than in actual construction. *snort* That happens to me, too!

liese 12-17-2013 07:04 AM

Diamond grouping layout but I would put the dark orange in the middle and build around it!

canuckninepatch 12-17-2013 08:05 AM

I definitely prefer the random. What a beautiful collection, and lovely pattern!

frenchfryqueen 12-17-2013 08:13 AM

I like the random best, too.

michelleoc 12-17-2013 08:14 AM

Personally, I like the random best. The one that is in the triangles makes me thing of those 'radioactive' signs on the sides of shipping containers.

IBQUILTIN 12-17-2013 10:06 AM

I vote random

quiltinghere 12-17-2013 10:12 AM

I vote RANDOM...and want to say all are nice!

grandme26 12-17-2013 11:03 AM

I like them all, but having to choose one I will go with the random one.

maryellen2u 12-17-2013 01:20 PM

I like the random also. I love your color choices and it will be beautiful!

fayzer 12-17-2013 01:28 PM

I like random best.

Momo 12-17-2013 03:59 PM

I like pic 2 and 3 best.

johnette 12-17-2013 06:01 PM

They are all nice, but I would choose the random layout.

katesnanna 12-17-2013 11:23 PM

I would choose #3 layout

bbeyes 12-21-2013 05:51 PM

I like the one with the diamond center

sewingsuz 12-21-2013 06:18 PM
