I started playing with some blocks yesterday and came up with this. Do you like setting 1 or 2 better

I think I prefer the first one, but it really depends on whether you want a quilt with more black (2nd) or more white (1st)

Jordan

Either one looks nice but I do agree with "Quilting Vagabond" that I see more black in the second one. Which one do you like?

I think I could tell better after you have more blocks made.

It does look different when you turn the black and white units around.

If we are voting, I like the first one. But I like both of them just fine.

Tartan

Both are nice but I like the first one best. The little white squares will make nice diagonal lines through the top.

I prefer more white than black but honestly, either one is really pretty!

Love the first layout. In the second, the blacks melt into each other, which is why people are perceiving it as having more black. I prefer the blacks not touching each other, as in your first layout. I think you've got a winner there!

Jingle

I prefer second, I like more black together than more white together.

On first look, I'm going with the layout 2. I like that it appears to be a black and white quilt with pops of color rather than the other way around .
