Thanks, Bear, for the visual aid! I like the 2nd (basketweave) too.

Both photos look the same to me.....to stagger I would think a half plain gray block top and bottom of every other row....

I'm so impressed! With the beautiful blocks and the visual aids. Sewnoma's observation is very interesting about focus on the blocks vs the pattern.

I'm with everyone else, I like your second picture. It will be a beautiful quilt.

I couldn't see a real difference or understand your question at first, but now that I do, I'm with the majority on basketweave.

Thanks for all the response, special thanks for the amazing drawings, I will basketweave them.

Since all of your block sashing is the same color(gray)- except the few white blocks----I personally don't see how basket weave would be effective. As in the visuals, if the sashes were of different colors,then that design element would be more noticeable. Jmho

#2 is my choice
