I think that maybe adding a lighter fabric near the light blues or yellows or a darker by the first pink would be good, I agree that your values are much the same. Photographing your fabrics really makes a difference in how you view them, doesn't it?
If I may, I'm enclosing 2 pics of the batik fabric and the blooming 9 patch I'm currently working on. After I started cutting and sewing, I found that my 2 favorite fabrics are the green snake and the cobalt. They both have a small pattern with high contrast so they flow well against their neighboring fabrics.
Once I started working on it and had cut my strips I realized that the rightmost fabric that you commented on was wrong as well. So I completely pulled that fabric. It just didn't work. I changed a couple of the other colors around. I have a much better idea now as to what I needed then when I started. I LOVE yours though. So pretty! I love seeing the movement into the next color. It "blooms" very nicely! I love it! Thanks for the help.
