    Perfect. Now I know why I only like the random. lol

    I like the random layout because the light color diamond shapes are too light in color.

    I'd have to do random. I'm not turned on by any of the triangle arrangements.

    LOL, I've done that before, and more than one color will end up with a twin no matter how random you'd like to be. I'd go for the paper bag and then make a few adjustments.

    I NEVER like random best...but this time I do!

    I agree with everyone else, though - whatever you choose will look lovely.

    PS I'm guessing that by this time you have more time invested in rearranging the blocks in different layouts than in actual construction. *snort* That happens to me, too!

    Diamond grouping layout but I would put the dark orange in the middle and build around it!

    Personally, I like the random best. The one that is in the triangles makes me thing of those 'radioactive' signs on the sides of shipping containers.
