Could you do 2 on point? I like the extra pizazz of on-point settings. I do like #4, but #2 on-point would be even better.

Please tell me which layout you like, and if you can think of other ways to arrange the squares. This part is FUN!!. There will be two posting (5 Pics). Might take a few minutes to get all the pictures up.

I like the third one ;)

... which, I am also working on one using the same material (sucker to that purplish colour LOL!) after I saw hers....

All your arrangements are just beautiful...it creates different illusions on every single one ... :) Hope to see your fully completed quilt once you have decided :)

#2 or #4, but #3 would work well in a room that feels cramped or short - it pulls the eye down, which could make a room look longer or roomier.

Great work!

The blocks on point are a really original, fresh and interesting approach to the whole thing. Very nice job of putting it all up in dfferent ways. It must have taken lots of time. Really great fabric too.
