After much thought yesterday, I decided not to take all of the blocks off the wall and play with different layouts. However I did try some layouts with the new blocks I made for the final rows. Below is all little squares on the same diagonal path. Next I tried the log cabin barn raising layout. Iliked this one.
Then I grouped all of the blues together and the greens together.
And then I put the last rows up on the wall with the rest of the quilt. I had to move some around since a lot of the new ones had the same fabrics as each other. I will look at this for a couple days to see if I want to move anything else.
The next quilt is going to be a different block but it will have the same chain effect of these last 2. I like the depth of this kind of pattern, like one layer over another.
I have a graduation party to go to this afternoon. It is hard to believe I have 3 grandchildren out of high school already.

Thanks for showing the layouts! Not that we get to vote, but I like the random criss cross chains or barnraising best.
Enjoy the graduation party!
My oldest grandson just graduated from 8th grade. It happens so FAST, doesn't it? He was just a baby.
Just kills me how rearranging a bit makes a totally different quilt...just kills me. It is simply stunning. Great work!!!
I love the final arrangement. The quilt just sparkles! I need to do one of these with my hand dyed fabrics.
Thnak=you for taking the time to show the layouts. I have a admit I like the last layout the best. My second favorite would be the barn raising.
I like the dappled-ness of the last layout the best, too. I have some blue & white swap blocks in that same pattern that I've recently put together in similar layout (photo on my blog one of these days) and yours is definitely much lovelier!
I really like the barn raising one. It reminds me of ripples around a drop in water. it would probably look good with the greens mostly together and teh blues mostly together too.
I love your final arrangement, the quilt is beautiful and I love your fabric choices. I have been watching it grow and it has been fascinating, thanks so much for sharing and showing the progress. I must make one of these, they are startling and I also love the depth and how the lines cross.
I like the last arraingement best too.
