That is the hardest part of making an OBW. I have shifted, removed and added blocks for days until the quilt tells me "it works". I have found that sometimes a block just does not work and I remove it. I have also cut a whole cloth hexagons to use in the composition to replace removed blocks. That is the wonder of a design wall, it helps to stand back, let it sit, come back, shift, and repeat until you are happy.
