The two sample quilt layouts for the Crossed Roads to Oklahoma - Variation block are very different, indeed.

The quilt layout featured on the left sets the blocks side by side and adds sashing strips for an extra design element.

The quilt layout illustrated on the right sets each block on point and adds large corner triangles to increase their size. The careful colour placement of these corner triangles gives the design pop to this resultant quilt.
