Personally, I think your quilt looks exactly like it should!! I have made several Strip Twists, each turns out differently depending on the colors I have that day. Step wa--a---a---y back and squint. That will give you a better perspective of the whole thiing. Too many white/cream solids/TOT would possibly be too stark. I think the small patterned lights are more mellow. Also ask yourself , is this for competition or comfort? Might make a difference in your outlook. Let us know what you finally decide to do. :thumbup:
