I like #1 and #3 best. If you add more colors try for a red (like cherry red fade to a pinkish vs. orange), maybe a chocolate brown fade to tan, black fade to gray? I used several such colors in my crazy diamond quilt and love them together. This quilt is fabulous!

ok ladies....there's been too much stress in my life lately and the last thing I needed to stress over was how to lay out this quilt. So here it is....random.....only because I must be bsessive compulsive because it took me f-o-r-e-v-e-r to decide what to do. Everything tells me to lay it out in a gradient style, but that's only because I want everything I do to be perfect and I know it won't be so as they say 'don't sweat' the small stuff. Thinking about quilting it with variagated thread. If it's a pain to work with I will go with a solid color....what do you think?
My favorite quilting thread always leans toward varigated. But, a thought crossed my mind that in this case, a solid might draw the blocks together. Maybe give them a cohesive feel. Wanting a sense of order in randomness. Varigated would tend to blend more. Perhaps choose a green, yellow, or the peach color for thread. You did great on the layout expect nothing less from yourself as you choose the thread. Your choice will be the right one. Love to see the finished piece.
