I have made these blocks and not really sure how to put it together. The 2nd placement shows how it is suppose to go but I do not like it. Not really sure about the other one either. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Overall I like the second one better. But I think the black needs to be more evenly distributed. Or what about arranging the blocks so the black is on the outside and sort of frames the other blocks. Just keep playing with the blocks till you find the layout you like. And I find taking a picture is a good way to not only preview the layout but to use for reference when you start to sew it together.

You have 5 of the white 'star' blocks - try arranging it so one is in the center surrounded by the darker blocks, then the lighter cross blocks and a 'star' in each corner.
Also, in the top photo, bottom center block. The lower right corner needs to be turned. If you wanted it like that - wonderful :) if not, it would be easy to fix it before you put the blocks together.
Lovely colors and nice blocks. I'm sure how ever you decide to put them together it will be lovely.

You appear to be one who likes symetry, order, and planning rather than spontaneity, randomness, and (dare I say?) chaos. They are both valid settings and each has it's appeal. I'd say go for what makes *you* "comfortable".

I'm confused too. did you make 15 blocks, 5 of each and then use 13= 5+4+4 of those style blocks?
I looks like you have on point on layout with edge filler partial blocks?
If the blocks are identified as A, B and C as they appear in the first picture, then the on point layout is in the second picture is:
C A C
A A
B C B
B B
C A B
If C were my favorite block I might do:
C B C
A A
B C B
A A
C B C
These are great blocks...Happy Easter too you too!
