Fantastic job Bea, I wouldn't change a thing! The paisley pattern is really lovely and swirly and your cubes are great - I love them placed slightly to one side. You have the eye my dear! :-D
Have you thought about borders yet? Do you want to? :mrgreen: :lol: I'd go with a skinny inner border of one of the dark cube fabrics to really frame it off, before a lighter outer border then bind again in a dark. :-D Ignore me if you like of course - but those were the ideas leaping into my head while I looked at it.
Wonderful! :D :D :D
EDIT: went back for a second look - you were right to leave out the solid cube in your second pic - too dominant. Your final layout is perfect! :-D
