Actually, the two layouts are exactly the same. If you added another row of blocks to the top and side, you would see that. But if you were going to keep it at the sixteen block piece, I like the first layout better. It looks as if it were more difficult, and makes more of an optical illusion, as MsHeirloom said.

It shows that you should just go with what you like because the first opinions were all for the 2nd one and
subsequently all the members liked the more dramatic number 1. To me it depends on the use of the quilt-
If it is to be a lap quilt in a living room setting, I would go with the first one. If it is to be a quilt that is on a
bed, I would think that the 2nd one is more restful... -Judy

The first one gets my vote. I hope you are going to paper piece the 4 components of the block......I personally think that would give the best accuracy. WandaVA's pictured quilt is great....there was a quilt book out several years ago and the author showed how to do these optical illusion blocks...her name escapes me, I had the book, but sold it at a garage sale....not something I wanted to try......but have fun doing it....
