I love your scrappy owl and agree that another fabric of color to make the owl standout is needed. I would go with a white or off white (very light gray or blue that looks white), and then the border would look nice with one of the light greens that you have in the pattern fabrics.
I love your idea! Looking forward to seeing your finished quilt.
