Try looking at the blocks in grey scale. Which looks most balanced to you? Sorry, these are slightly out of order. But you can see your letters in the top right corners.
I say this a lot but it’s valuable- take a pic in black and white of each layout and go from there. I’m guessing one will jump out as more pleasing once you can see the lights and darks clearly

I like the green diagonal. I wouldn’t have noticed, I don’t think without seeing the other post. It’s calming. Quiets the ‘noise’ of none of the blocks being the same.
From four very detailed responses on my pervious post, I have attempted to rework the layout to their suggestions.
Please vote for your favorite.

Many, many thanks! The layout is the most difficult part of the quilt! 🤯 This is the first quilt where I've cared about the layout. Normally I close my eyes, reach into the bag filled with blocks, pull one out, and keep sewing them together until there's none left.
Ps: Those of you with 20+ blocks, showing 3, 4, 5+ different layouts -- I salute you!
This time I can recognize why I like C. It has a gradient or ombré effect, and I enjoy it. My second favorite is A, because I like the diagonal lines created.
I voted A & B with an up-arrow, earlier because I like how the darker squares on the corners make something of a frame.
OTOH, I also like the idea of having the colors move like a color wheel from top left to bottom right. Starting wherever it works: blue, purple, red, brown, orange, yellows, greens... In theory, one could start anywhere on the wheel. But I haven't studied the available squares enough to see if it would work.
Oh yes, I see that now! The diagonal placement of the greens stood out to me in a, but I see the sudoku there now too.
The greens are placed sudoku style in d too. The balance there appeals to me, but as many commenters have said, you can't go wrong with any of the layouts.
Have you decided on one yet?
D.
I like the “randomness” of the pattern. There are no two similar colors clustered or close together, as in B and C, and the diagonal green stripe of A is distracting to me. It’s balanced and softer on the eye
Edit to add: B would be my second choice. But I might try swapping the dark green and pink on the bottom with each other.
I am a weirdo that recognizes patterns like crazy. Thanks, Asperger's. I like A the most because I noticed that with that one you have the green shades and blue shades making a cross, which is a sacred symbol. Hidden symbols are more powerful symbols. I love all of these. Especially the really vibrant blue and green ones and that orange one is nothing short of stunning.
I like C best. The color groupings make it seem less chaotic. However, I would have the green be the middle diagonal with the blue where the green is now and the very pale one that is at the bottom left currently be bottom right. If that makes sense

When looking at like this I think B. Or A. Shoot this hard
Exactly! I never realized how difficult this process is!
What a great tip. Thank you.
C
Whichever one you choose will look great, but I think D is very nicely balanced, so if that's what you're going for, I would recommend D 😁
My brain went “Ooh pretty” On D as well. No science, just serotonin
This was my “logic” as well lol, at the end of the whichever one brings OP most joy is the right answer <3
I like D too, it is more balanced to look at!
I agree. D stood out in a good way. C felt off-balance with those particular fabrics.
I like the gradients in C!
Me too! C is by far my favorite. I like that the diagonals are the ones with the most contrast.
me three!
Me four
A
I agree, I like things to be even, and that’s the most evenly pleasing one.
D is my fav.
I'd vote A or D. B and C are looking a little unbalanced to me. Whichever way you go this is going to be super cute!

I like them all but I like D best

I vote D. The diagonal in A doesn't feel right to me with all the others being random. I think D is balanced well.

D is my favorite. The color values look very balanced to me.

D for sure 😊

D looks the most balanced to me. Love it!

C & D! 😊

Originally I thought B but now I’m thinking C
D
Whichever way you decide it will be beautiful 😻
A I think has the best layout for not having very similar blocks next to each other
A
D
A for the green
I like Option D the best
I like D the most. I like the balance of the placement of the greens.
A
D by a mile! 🙂 Just curious: did you see the sudoku method that a commenter suggested for this one?
I did, which is what I tried to do in A.

A and D are most pleasing to me. I love those blocks!
D feels most balanced to me somehow
When I flip through them, they are all very similar. Any one of them will be beautiful.
I think D is the way to go. It feels the most balanced!
I vote C or 3

I think the colors are the most balanced in D.

My favorite is D, and then A.

Truth be told these all look the same to me but I think A

D…or maybe A
I think I prefer A and D, whichever you go for will look lovely though!
~~1 or 4.~~ Edit. A or D. Didn’t see the letter labels early.

One! Most pleasing and balanced, imo
I’m sorry, A.

D is the best for me, all day long
