Just noticed that you have another fabric with the white one.

Like the second option best, but not totally happy with it.
I think I would either go with a solid corner or do a 4 patch with the two small white squares leading the eye into the center.
or...maybe use the diamondy square in a square block for your cornerstone?

The small white square just doesn't look properly proportioned to everything else, although I see your reason for trying to echo the 'arrow' look of the main blocks.

I like the bottom one, but it needs another light square on the corner.

Added: Yes, I looked again, and that little white square by itself looks unbalanced, like it's just hanging there. It's distracting. Either use more of the red print or do a 4 patch with another white square to balance the white square.

But I can't quite explain why. I think it might be that they are small in proportion to the corner square in the fancy border right inside that last border.
I agree with bearisgray...I don't however, have any bright ideas on what to put instead....but I do love this design and your colours.

I would use the dark red, but I wouldn't put it where you currently have it planned -- I would move it back to where the two diamont borders meet. Good luck!
