Which Quilt Layout?

I could write a post about the weather; it has been so varied and unpredictable, with a small earthquake thrown in, but just 2 sentence will do. The weather sucks!
 I want to ask your advice and opinion please. 
Which of the following 6 layouts is most pleasing to the eye? I could live with all of them but have two I favour more than the other 4. ( my knees are worn out crawling around the carpet changing these, so I won't look for more feasibilities. ) ( but suggest them if you like and think I have missed a really good one! )
 This is # 1. 
Yes it has an obvious mistake in it. No I'm not being Amish I just didn't spot it till the photo was taken.

 This is # 2. ( it's one the other way around corrected )

 This is # 3. ( also with a mistake at the end of the front purple row )
( Using my camera as a quilting tool is a plus! )

 This is # 4. The obvious mistake in it REALLY stands out.

 This is # 5. ( it is the same idea as 4 but is in colour rows. )

 This is # 6.

 Thanks in advance. Here in NZ we have a long weekend. If the weather allows some gardening will take place. I am tired of thinning kiwifruit buds so none of that.( my neck needs to look down for a while ) Some reading; blog reading and sewing on another small project. I probably will need to do some cooking too. Can I get all that done in the 2.5 days I have left. We'll see. I hope you all have a happy weekend.

    I'm with Linda-it's number 6 for me. Weather hasn't been too bad here down south. Rain has arrived now but none all day.

    The weather sucks here too, so don't feel alone on that one.

    My favourite is either 3, then 6. I like how 3 uses the different colour ways in a more definitive way than the rest. But..... which ones are your favourites?

    Thank you All very much.
    It seems # 3 wins by a narrow margin from 6.
    Add to that, that both R and I like #3 best I think that is the way I will go. You just reinforced it for me.
    # 6 reminds me of a jewel box design....am I correct?
