Wow, what a coincidence. I was just searching the internet for information on the Hidden Wells quilt. Where it was mentioned, the internet instructions did say to use an odd number of fabrics and 5 or 7 seemed to be the most favored numbers.
With that said, I vote for #2 above. However, it is your quilt and you should go with the one that is most pleasing to your eye. I will have to explore the program you are using. Much cheaper to scan the fabric and test the pattern with actual fabric before making the quilt and deciding that you don't like it at all. Good luck. Please share the actual quilt with us when it is made.

It seems to be a little more toned down with the browns and golds and the pinky purples are a little more notice able.

I just can't quite put my finger on it. I think that I might need to go let another pinky fq to help balance it out better.

After squinting at the 2nd one, I think you need a very light color for the center of the blocks that are light. One that is as light as the black centers are dark. I am learning that the more contrast, the better the design shows. What program are you using to design these blocks?
