What about a border around the whole quilt of your center color to give it some pop and tie it all together? Also, if you want, you could try reversing half of your blocks so that you have a wide strip of cream in the center and you have the dark brown showing all around the quilt...just some ideas...play with it! Log cabin blocks are so fun to play with!
