Are you doing this as a quilt as you go? Quick and easy.
1. Cut out batting and a backing colour same size as front
2. Start at the step side left at the top.
3. Place first piece bottom batting top as if a sandwich . Place top of next piece right sides together .
4. Place batting on top of the second top.
5. Place back piece right side to right side of first piec.
6' machine all together I would use 1/2incg seam .
7. Press well.
I am sure you get the idea it does grow vey quickly and you can trim seam if you wish.
You can also quilt a design on each section when sewn

I like high contrast. I think the bottom blue may be the same value as the verticle brown. I think the top two/left have the most value contrast to the two verticle. I don't know the pattern you mentioned, so I'm going at this like a mystery quilt. It's have do make decisions without the pattern. I think high contrast is more masculine for your boy.
A gentle and soothing combination might be the ferns and bottom blue.
I also had a SAB and it took a long time to recover.

If you squint your eyes and look at the picture, the bottom left fabric actually has more contrast than the one with the palm fronds. I would actually go with the bottom left and top left. This way the dark brown contrasts with the light brown and the blue/green contrasts with the darker blue/green.
