Another possibility you might want to try .... flip your blocks around so that the stripes match (different fabrics though) and the white space matches. You'll start with a solid block in the centre and come out in blocks around (on point) similar to the #1 version, just that it'll be continual. I know ... probably not explained well!

The reason so many like #1 is because the design is more noticeably on the diagonal. Diagonal settings appeal to the eye and create interest as the eye moves over the design -- this is a basic design tenet.
#1 was my choice right away.
