paper piecing

The first of my paper pieced squares is ready to be stitched onto a canvas. I have auditioned two different ways of placing it, but I cannot make up my mind which one I prefer. On the first picture the square is placed in the middle of the canvas:
In the second picture the square is at the bottom left corner. Which one to choose???

Nice piece!
I choose -1- if there will be no embellishment on the canvas and choose -2- if there will be some embellishment on the canvas leding to the PP.
I love it when the focus is on the PP.

Hi Wil,

I like the first placement. It looks great so far - looking forward to the next steps!

My eye tend to lead to the first one. But like someone else said depending on what you may be doing around it the left one sure does give more area to embellish. I guess the question to ask is do you want the CQ part to be the focal point if yes then I would do the first one, if you want it to be equal to what is going around it then the second one would be better.

Just my thought:)

Will the canvas and PP blocks all go together in one or will they be seperate? I'm not for sure what canvas is? lol Will it be sewn together with the other blocks? That will make a difference on where to set the blocks if they are all going to be sewn together.

Ik vind de tweede manier heel mooi! Maar de keuze is toch aan jou!

Wil, I must be seeing something different than others. These pieces look exactly the same to me.. But I like the striped piece at the bottom left side (that is the ony one I see..).

hi Wil, I prefer the first setting, it seems to be more in balance to me.
