I agree with bringing the picture blocks more to the center - how about bringing them one space diagonally toward the center? Then alternate the green/blue blocks with the bright blue on the outside rows maybe?

Great ideas! Guess because I think everything NEEDS to be organized, that's why they are/were arranged that way. I've been messin' with them for a while this morning, not 100% happy. Maybe I do need to "muddy" them up a bit! Thanks.

I'd even considered putting the picture blocks on the back... beings they're what seems to be giving me headaches. Going to try y'alls suggestions and see what works.
Thank each of you. I appreciate you taking the time to help.

Why are you using the pic blocks? are they the main inspiration/theme for the quilt or an after thought since you have them so why not use them. Putting them on the back may confuse the user as to which is the back and what is the front. Maybe you should not use them at all. I personally think that they will add pizzaz to the quilt if used in the center and tone down the bright blue.

IMO, if someone were to use this on a bed, or on their lap, the pictures would get 'lost' if staying on the edges. Consider moving the pictures 'into' the quilt. If the layout of each of the other blocks is what you had planned, leave those, but switch 4 of them out for the pictures. I think putting the green blocks around the pictures would set off the pictures, then the blues around those, and use blue/green fabric as a border, add the lighter blue for a border and add a dark blue binding. So much you can do by rearranging the blocks and colorings.
