Perhaps put 1 or 3 contrasting pink roses on the bottom half of the fan?

Try this for the lesson or experience:
1. Take each color/fabric you have there and put any other fabrics you may have of the same color with it in a row.
2. Then shuffle each row so that your fabrics for that one color flow from very light to very dark.
For example: Pale, pale baby blue through soft baby blue, to medium blue, to water blue, to deep blue, to navy blue, to nearly black blue.
3. Try for at least five values within a color range. This will help you to begin to see fabric by value more than by just color.
4. To carry this even further, use different scale prints in the block as well. Currently you have two solids here and one mini print that "reads" as solid.
Maybe the base of the fan could have a deeper color fabric with a slightly larger print....something that will show "movement" or texture in it.
You're coming along great, keep at it!
