I agree with random. But all are great, you can't go wrong.

To get truly random - which I like the best, BTW! - put all triangles in a big paper bag, toss them around REAL good, stir em up and start pulling them out one by one. THAT will be your layout..... of course, there are always a few that don't want to "play fair" and you'll have to put them where YOU want them.... lol !!! It is gonna be beautiful whatever you do!

They are both great, but I think I like the first layout better.

I am new and I see that the majority like the random but I have to go with the diamond layout. it has visual pop! any way you set it though it is going to be beautiful

I also like the diamond layout, but the light triangles don't seem to go with the others that have more contrast. I would replace them with triangles that have more contrast like the other triangles. But, if you really like them and don't want to make more, I would go with the random. They don't stand out as much. Just my opinion.

First of all, you have a very pretty quilt! I like the third picture best, with the diamond and triangles, and I guess I am agreeing with your husband when I say the light floral print seems out of place in the quilt..........just being honest here, but I love your colors and pattern.
