Note that in the random-ish layout, there are three of the plaid
diagonally together, so those would need to be swapped
with one of the dotted patterns - too much of a pattern there.
Let me know in the comments which one you like better. I'm leaning towards the random layout, and so far the couple votes I've already gotten off the blog go the same direction. I'm looking forward to finishing this one up since it's one I'm actually keeping for myself.
I like the random one the best, but both look really wonderful.

DeleteThanks for the feedback! Check back next week to see which way I went.
Love your colors! Count me as another vote for random :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm a huge fan of the whole Stitch in Color line especially this pear and turquoise color way. Check back next week to see which way I went.
DeleteYeah, that's a hard choice! Each time I start to say "This one," my brain says "No, this one!"
ReplyDeleteYou're not the only one whose brain is doing that back and forth. I love order and patterns and geometric design - hence making 30 of these asterisk blocks. Next week there will be a finished quilt too ooh and ahh at.
DeleteIt's done, check it out!
DeleteLove the blocks, I would lean more toward organized pattern, but they both look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I had fun working on this quilt. Check back next week to see which way I went!
DeleteIt's done, check it out!
DeleteI like the first one.
ReplyDeleteCheck back next week to see which way I went!
DeleteI like the 1st one too. Very pretty colors and a great block!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was fun to make. I got my inspiration from City House Quilts and her asterisk - although hers is scrappy and mine is A Stitch in Color in the pear/turquoise color way, which I'm completely in love with.
DeleteIt's done, check it out!
DeleteI like the one on the right!
ReplyDeleteCheck back next week, and you'll see the final product!
DeleteI've not seen this pattern yet, so it was fun to "discover" it today while commenting on link-ups. I vote for. . . either one! as I know once they're quilted and bound they'll be perfectly fine.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Freshly Pieced today and posting your WIP link.

DeleteI too, like them both and usually I am very random but am quite drawn to the first one. the pattern in the blocks themselves are so cool that the first one really showcases the block itself. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I had a lot of fun with this block - the basic tutorital is over at City House Studio. I've been vaccilating between the two lay outs for just that reason - the organized one showcases the block, but I love random.
DeleteIt's done, check it out!
DeleteFun colors! I'm drawn to the diagonal pattern layout :)
ReplyDeleteCheck back next week to see. I've got a third layout that I played with yesterday, now, too. So many decisions especially since I'm keeping this one for me.
DeleteInteresting how my experience differs. I noticed the block more in the irregular arrangement. My eye hit the dark blue and stayed on it a bit. On the diagonal arrangement, my eye hit the dark blue and moved up the diagonal line.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the irregular arrangement, but you may have it pieced by now.
Either arrangement, I like the block and the colors.
It's not together yet. I've got a take home final that I'm working on right now, and an in class final on Thursday. Along with a full weekend of activities (including a Winter Classic road race on Sunday), I didn't spend time at my sewing machine, and now I'm in school mode. It'll probably come together Thursday afternoon once I finish the final.
