#1 for me.

I like both of them very much, but #1 has my vote. It almost has an optical illusion effect.

I like #1 because it's different! Reminds me of ripples in the water or the wavy lines your see when looking at hot cement.

I like #2, but agree to the idea of playing with options unless you are on a deadline.
Have fun & let us know!

Changing my vote to #3. Guess I'm just to set in my ways. :)

# 2 is easier on the eyes...

I really like the exploding look of #1. It kind of reminds me of the "Tube Top" pattern by Cozy Quilts. Sorry, I don't know how to make the blue link thingy. Anybody care to teach me how to do that neat trick? I'd appreciate it.

#2- or try mixing blocks your self and see what you come up with. and then pick one and and go for it. Do not try to second guess youself!

#2 for me. One hurt my eyes.

I love number 1..but they are all right, there are so many variations ....just play with the blocks ..The fractured look is too cool..just my opinion
