Ditto my thoughts also :D :thumbup:

I like both but the scrappy wins for me. Maybe make one quilt of each?

I like those in #1 a bit more. #1 is new style with older styled fabrics and a bit more colorful. #2 and #3 are the same, right? (Just that the lighting is a bit off in #2?) They all look nice though. What color backgrounds are you putting them on? For an alternate block or quilt you could do Grandmother's Fan (1/4 Dresden) and put lace around the edges of the fans.

Yes #2 and #3 are the same pieces but with different lighting.
