I think what you are seeing is that the darker colors are not your longest pieces.
There are sooooooooo many arrangements that I'd try a few to see which I liked best.
EDIT---------OKAY, I looked at the quilt again. Is the very dark, your darkest color or is it sashing. If it's your darkest brown, you went waaaaaaaaaaaaay to dark for the other prints you have.
If it's sashing--------------get rid of it as someone else suggested. If it's the darkest brown, get rid of it and chose a brown closer to what you already have.
