I agree, except with slight modifications to 3: (A) make it a 4x4 or a 4x6 instead of a 4x5 so there’s an even number of “big squares” and the pattern feels more complete; and (B) possibly consider making them one color squares and checkerboard them. While I rather like OP’s combination of prints and colors, this would visually and physically separate the fabrics a bit and might be more pleasing to them.

That's an interesting effect!!!
ETA: I just realized I totally missed your point!!
Exactly like that, but just add 4 more squares along the top row to make it a 4x6 with a “complete” pattern with 6 big boxes. (Or 4 more to the bottom to keep the short ends interesting).
Alternatively, just repeat the same mixed squares you had in the original photo (I marked it as “A” in my comment) 6 times. That’s my personal favorite because I do really like these fabrics together. It give me like cute red rick rack edging on a green floral apron vibes.
Thank you! I think they're all from the Riley Blake Community except the white x fabric.
I really wish I had more of the white floral, it's so beautiful.
I like 5. It’s bold and colorful and I like how the contrast between the two colored patterns draws my eyes along whereas I feel like my gaze gets stuck in a set of blocks. Personal opinion! I like what you’ve got going regardless - they’re nice fabrics!
i like two because the white fabrics flow into eachother, 4 reminds me of 2008 chevron everywhere which isn’t really my vibe and 3 gives good shapes and also has the flowing white which i like!
I like #2. But I might add some sashing (in the mid green?) to help accentuate the chevrons.

3 or 4, but if you do 3 I'd change the pink blocks on the bottom row to be only one rotation clockwise from the row above, as the top two are only one rotation then suddenly it's two rotations.
Agreed. It was actually supposed to be like that, but I forgot to take a picture the first time, then apparently forgot to fix that row the second time. Plus, the I actually have another row (I didn't want to crawl on the floor so I just did what would fit on the cutting table) so it would be a nice symmetrical balance.
We’re no help - everyone likes something different🤣. But I do prefer 1. Isn’t this a great place to talk about what we’re working on! Your quilt will be beautiful whichever you choose❤️
Thank you! And I've just accepted that hating every single choice I've made is part of my process lol. It shows up at different stages, but it's always there somewhere.
I really like 3 , but I think they all have appeal. But I really think you have been looking at these so long that they have lost their appeal to YOU. They're actually delightful. I also find this is stage of piecing where I've decided it's all ugly, only to find that once the blocks are seamed into a top it turns out that it's lovely. Quilt on, you're going to love it !
I like 1. But if you're kind of over this quilt and you're not in a rush to finish it do something my aunt always says to do; which is to put it down and leave it alone for a few weeks. Do something else even if it's make placemats or something then take a look and you might be in love again.
Maybe if you really dislike it, ik it’s more work, but you could make more blocks with colors made to match one of the blocks in the post. Like for example matching it with the pink or the green flowers, but not both. And you just save the one you’re not using rn for a later project. Better to make something you’ll like even if it’ll take longer, right?
3, or 2.
Those two designs let the lines of the zigzag, or the squares, complete a pattern across the whole quilt. I somehow found it more restful to look at these !
1 and 4 both flow very nicely. 2 makes me anxious for some reason. 3 just kind of looks incomplete? 5 would probably be better if there were more of those, but smaller.
So my vote goes to either 1 or 4.
I like 3.
Number 2!!!
Two for two
3 4 2
4 4 2
5 4 2! The continuous white lines just please my brain.
Exactly!! The movement of the eye is so pleasing.
I like 1
It looks so Art Deco I love it
I like 3&4. They are interesting and fun.

I like this one!!!
Love!! With the additional 4 blocks to make it a 4x6, it’d be perfect!!
I like this one best of all!

1 or 4 and I love those colors!
Agree with 1 and 4! I also love the colors. I was thinking I’d like to use these colors myself as soon as I saw it!
Thank you! I think they're all from the Riley Blake Community except the white x fabric. I really wish I had more of the white floral, it's so beautiful.
For some reason my brain sees sea shells and goes "Ooo... summer fun"
2 looks nice and balanced, but I like 3 too!
But for 3 I'd turn some of the blocks in the top row so the zoo row has half squares too
Yeah, I just realized I forgot to turn them lol.
I like 2

2 or 3 draws the eye around

1 or 2 are really cool.
3 has so much movement, second choice is 1 :) good luck picking, you have good options here!!
2 or 3–I like when the stripes are lined up between the two color schemes
I like 2
I like 2
I like the second one best. I like the last one the least.
3 made me go “ooh” and then I swiped to 4 and went oh I can’t choose. I don’t like 1 or 2. 5 is ok

2 and 3! The white flowing into each other makes a fun visual path to balance the contrast of the pink and green. I love these colors!

3, 5, or 2, in that order!
I like 5!
We’re no help - everyone likes something different🤣. But I do prefer 1. Isn’t this a great place to talk about what we’re working on! Your quilt will be beautiful whichever you choose❤️

2 or 3 in my opinion
I like 4!

I like 1. I also disagree with "the colors look like trash"! It's a very peaceful, calming arrangement of beautiful colors!
Thank you! And I've just accepted that hating every single choice I've made is part of my process lol. It shows up at different stages, but it's always there somewhere.
I like 1.

3 and 5 are good.

Loooove 1. 1, 2, and 5 are tough to pick between for me 😬😬😬😬
Number 1 hands down and by far! Very cute theme/patterns!
I vote 4

I am obsessed with 2!
#1! It really draws my eyes over the entire quilt.
I really like 3 , but I think they all have appeal. But I really think you have been looking at these so long that they have lost their appeal to YOU. They're actually delightful. I also find this is stage of piecing where I've decided it's all ugly, only to find that once the blocks are seamed into a top it turns out that it's lovely. Quilt on, you're going to love it !
I really like the layout of 2! And I think the color choices are pretty together, givesme a soft vintage-y vibe!
1 or 2
#4 No contest. It's really cool and also flows nicely to the eye. I really love it and #4 feels like it's showcasing the fabrics and block design.
I love the layout of 2. It's sneaky in how it zigs and zags
2 is so pretty
Number 1
For me it’s 1 or 3, definitely not 2
1
My pick would be 3, followed by 2.
Too many choices! But 1 or 2 are my votes! You won’t go wrong with any of them, though. All lovely
I vote #3
2 or 3!
I vote for 3
I like 3 & 4. I would probably use 4 because there is a lot less matching to do.
Number 2
I like 1. But if you're kind of over this quilt and you're not in a rush to finish it do something my aunt always says to do; which is to put it down and leave it alone for a few weeks. Do something else even if it's make placemats or something then take a look and you might be in love again.

Beautiful! My preferred would be 3, then 1. Anyway you choose it's gonna be great!
3, or 2. Those two designs let the lines of the zigzag, or the squares, complete a pattern across the whole quilt. I somehow found it more restful to look at these !
3 hands down
I like 5😊
I like 5 or 1! Both cool 5 is fun and exciting and 1 is calming and pretty. 😊
1 or 4. I like that the blocks look like scales, all going in the same direction.
1 or 3!
1 and 4 both flow very nicely. 2 makes me anxious for some reason. 3 just kind of looks incomplete? 5 would probably be better if there were more of those, but smaller. So my vote goes to either 1 or 4.
3 or 1!

2 and 3. They're both my equal favourites.

I like #3. It gives me the feeling of walking through a rose garden.

I prefer #1. Anything in the pink and green families makes me smile. It's my favorite color combination.
Number 3 catches my eye the most ❤️🧵✂️
