I was in pieces with Kings (my August UFO) on Saturday evening. Now I'm on the design wall! I think I'll stay small with this project. I used bonus triangles from a quilt that I finished a few years back. They are the neutral/black HSTs. Playing With Jacks is a Bonnie Hunter design that is FREE on her website. Her project suggests a 2 1/2" HST, but mine are 2" instead.
This layout is more contemporary according to Bonnie. It is block to block in zig zag waves. Layout #2.
Do you have a particular favorite? More interesting projects to admire today through the links at Patchwork Times.

Call me a traditionalist, but I love that first layout the most. And the variety of fabrics within each color group gives this quilt such visual interest--lots of depth and sparkle!
Well, isn't that a challenge? I like #1, #2 is okay, but makes it like a waving flag. Don't care too much for #3. I am sure as you go along opinions will change, sure do like the colors.
I agree with Janet that #1 is my favorite. I'm not a fan of the chevrons in #2. #3 is ok, but I don't like the way the sashing breaks it up. But, if you combine some of the x's with what appears to be an "o" in the top left corner of #1, and made it more of a tic-tac-toe board, the sashing might appeal to me. Then you could call it Kuddles and Kisses! Happy Quilting, and thanks for today's inspiration.
I would choose 1 or 3, with a slight preference to 1. They all look lovely and will give the finished quilt a different look!
Layout #1 is very striking! Working with HST's is one of my favorite things in quilting. So many possibilities!
What fun to have so many options! I like them all!!
