I'm stuck and need help!

This morning I was looking at some videos on the web, specifically easy ways to construct pinwheels...  

So I had a look at this video on how to make fast and easy pinwheels.  Which was very easy to follow and so simple to do




But instead of ending up with your basic pinwheel, I wanted a completely different look, and searched the web again and found a tutorial for this diamond block.  

I used 3 purple, 3 green and 4 cream printed fabrics.  But once I started playing around with the placement of the blocks I came up with so many different settings that now I am completely stuck, and I don't know what to do.

I took pictures of the different block setting, and copied them next to each other to see what it will look like, and to get an idea of how they will fit and how the 'movement' of the blocks would be, but now I cant decide which looks best...



With this placement, I had to add quite a few blocks to see the effect.

I really need some input, and I realize its all about personal preference, but this time, I just don't know.........?

Happy quilting

I like 1 and 3. Wonder if all our comments will help you...LOL. Good luck choosing, they are wonderful. It will be a fabulous quilt no matter what you choose!

Great colors and fabrics. After looking at them twice, and squinting to try to get an overall shape/color of how they'd look on a larger scale quilt, I'm leaning toward #7, but then again, it's an individual thing. I don't know if we'll be of much help, but we sure can encourage you!

They are all gorgeous!!! But if you'd ask me to choose, I'd go with number 3 ! Love it!

I think Block #2 has the 'cleanest' look, and really "pops". I also like block #6, which is quite different, and has a feel of movement. Tough choices!
