I like the fisrt one, but I would rearange the blocks so the stars and x's would alternate and leave the black blocks where they are at. Or put each black block in each corner then the odd one goes in the center. Then play with the other blocks by putting them around the cent black one.
In other words play witht the blocks.

The bottom right on the second one looks like it should be like the bottom left. Then the 4 corners and the middle would be the same. that would be most pleasant to me.

Do you have enough material to make one more of either non-black block? I have an idea to give it more symetry.

I like the second one with one suggestion. I would change the bottom right side to make it look like all the other corners.

Hi Verna,

In the first picture the bottom middle darker block has the right bottom corner with pieces sewn incorrectly. With this block error all of your other settings could possibly not look quite right.

I also like the idea of adding additional blocks to balance the design as someone else mentioned.

Beautiful blocks. I vote for #1. Very. Dramatic. Try switching the center row with row on right. You would have a color gradation. Good luck.

That was my thought!

Lovely colors and nice blocks. I'm sure how ever you decide to put them together it will be lovely.

yes, totally agree with using 5 white stars :thumbup:
