OK, I'll chime in.
What about placing the blocks with the "red's" in one corner grading down to "some red's" to "no reds"!
It will look more planned like you wanted it to look like a gradient of red. Then use two colors (one of the reddish) for borders placing two reds at one corner and two "not reds" in the opposite corners. Does that make sense?????
Another idea would be to try laying them out so it looks like the "reds" are tumbling down the quilt helter skelter.
Then again, you could just sew it as you have it layed out and be done with it. You're over thinking it like I sometimes do. Go for it!
