I agree with butterflywing - I think I still prefer the layouts from the first post you did BUT I do like 2 and I think like you say with different corners, it could be great!

I'll repost the first ones so you don't have to hunt them up--but not #3 since it was so close to #1.

Boy--the sun really makes a difference in the color.

#2 I like this one, but not the corners, so I could make corners like are in #6. :D

#4 (there's no 3 now and I wanted to keep track with my photo labels :wink: )

#10 I can see a need for a few adjustments here--to round off two areas facing the center--see what I mean?

#11 I just switched the four center blocks for the these one.

I think you're right about leaving the sunflowers out. Maybe, they're just not proportioned to the other printed flowers. I would leave the other yellow flower print in though. Whatever you decide it will be quite lovely.

Wow, too hard to decide...They all look nice!! I love the log cabin. You can do so many designs with them. It's hard to choose just one!!

Oh Karla...you do like to make the hard decisions don't you??? I like lots of these and I'm not sure you can really go "wrong". I like the thought of wandering aimlessly through a garden, so I think I like #2.

Whichever one you decide will be gorgeous and I'm thinking you'll just have to make a second one to try another of those pretty layouts!

I like #5. It has alot of motion. They all do but #5 catches my eye the MOST.

Hope I am not too late! Am not sure how I lost this track, but here goes!
I was one who wanted two ... and the idea of the #6 corners were exactly what I had in mind ... so, with that in mind, I have a question!
I counted 56 block layout. Is that the total number of blocks you need?
And, I think the sunflowers do add that "surprise element" - - but, I think I already said that <G>

Hi omak--I will be using a lot more than 56 squares. Those lay outs are for 64, but I'm thinking somewhere around 10x12...maybe. I haven't gotten that far yet. :wink: I've been too busy on other stuff to work much on squares... but maybe today or this weekend.... also, my head is foggy from mare stare and I'm afraid of making mistakes. :roll:
