I'm making a quilt in sunset/mountain colors as a gift. I have 50+ squares and cannot decide whether to put it together on point (I have one picture of them more or less randomly placed on point) or in traditional rows (in which case I'll probably arrange them something like in the other picture -- with the yellow/oranges in the center, working their way out to the blues/purples). In neither picture are all the squares included, but you get the idea.

So which layout do you like better?

BTW these squares were exceptionally quick -- started with batik 2.5" strip sets from Connecting Threads (Sunset and Mountainside collections) and then did the tube method. I have three fabrics from the collections to use for the borders.

I like #2 best.

I personally love the second one!

Me too!

I love the contemporary look of the first layout :D:D:D

i like [predictably] 1 the rainbow

#1!!!

Wow, love them both.

I really like the 2nd one! The colors just pop!
Please show us when you are finished with it!

#1

I like them both. The first is nice because they're on point, the second one because it is a little more sophisticated, I think. My favorite is probably the second, though.

#2!!

I like the first one best. They're both beautiful though!

#1, but #2 is also nice.

#1 is my favorite

me too

I like them both but the second would be my choice if I had to choose.

You should make two quilts, because I really like both layouts. But, if I have to choose I would pick #1. Please post a picture when you're finished.

#2 is fantastic.

I like no2

Both are beautiful. 1 is contemporary and 2 traditional.

#2

I like #1 best.

I think I would pick #1. Its going to be beautiful no matter which layout you choose!

#2

I liked the #1 until I saw the #2. It is like a Prism glass in a lighthouse to me! I love it!

Both are great but I really like the first one.

2

1 for me

I like them on point.

me too!

Hahaha...I guess it's almost an even split of votes...so I'm posting another layout (still can be perfected but you'll get the idea). This one uses the on-point stripes but focuses the yellow/oranges in the center. (I started the arrangement too low so the top row is kinda cut off.)

Let's call this one option #3.

Better? Or do you prefer #1 or #2?

I like them both

I like three better than 1 but still like 2 the best.

I think I like the second one the best.

they're both great...but 2 is best...wonderful work!!!

#1

#1 is so different that I am picking that. Lovely
Black fill in blocks on point and black border would be awesome. With the black fill in it would really define the design. Love it.

I like #1.

#1 gets my vote!
