Like the one on the left best. Anymore I let the people I am making quilts for choose fabric and pattern and make improvements I think necessary to work.

They are both about 75 square even tho the pics don't look like it.

I, too, like the one on the left. Not sure why I don't care for the one on the right.....it just seems "scrambled" to my eyes. But it would work as a wall hanging in a large space. It's just not restful to me, but sometimes restful is not what is always needed. What do you plan to do with these?

At first I thought the one on the left...but went back and really looked, and I actually like them both..when you say no piecing, only fabric strips, do you mean you somehow cut all the fabrics where it looks like individual pieces, but actually they aren't? I usually "get" things, but this is "getting" me!!
