I like random pattern the best. It shows some contrast in the patches.

I like the one on the left the best -- the two light background prints on the end. What are you using for the squares?

I was going to decide what to use for the triangles/squares after deciding which layout would look best for the arc.

I also like the one on the left, it just seems to 'flow' better.

Oh, I love the colors you're using! While I was unpacking the sewing room yesterday I found my QIAD DWR fusible and want to dive into a quilt with it a.s.a.p. I need to make a quilt for our king size bed. Please keep us updated with pics on your progress with this! I like both arcs, but the one with the prints on both ends appeals to me the most.

Thanks everyone. When I layed out my fabric before cutting, it looked best like the one on the right. Then after cutting the wedges I wasn't as sure. That is when I tried it like the one on the left. I still liked both of them. I've decided to use the layout on the left and have enough arcs sewn together for 11 blocks. I am still changing out wedges for more arcs to be sewn together.

I like the prints on the ends ; the pic on the left is one that is good. Pretty colors.
