Playing with Options

I'm officially half way done with my Glory blocks, but instead of being productive and continuing on with piecing #5 of 8, I paused to have some fun arranging the blocks around in different layouts.

By itself it doesn't have a ton of impact.  It's pretty, but nothing pops out as a dominate design.

Putting the blocks in a cluster of 4 going the same direction doesn't necessarily create much of a pattern either:

BUT- if you play with the direction of the blocks, you can come up with a couple of really cool patterns:

1-

2-

 3-

Now I just have to decide which 2 designs I want.  I suppose I should finish piecing the other 4 blocks, so I actually get these quilts done on time.  The clock is ticking...
