Default Off kilter baby quilt?

The lady at a LQS wrote a pattern for a cute baby print from P & B Textiles but it looks off-kilter to me so I would like to ask you experts what you think about it. You will have to visualize it as I don't have any idea how to post a picture. The main part is made up of 3 prints cut into 6.5" blocks and sewn in vertical strips which are then sewn together so each line of blocks produces a stairstep affect across the front of the quilt: 3 'steps' up then 4 'steps' down. This 4th 'step' makes the quilt look off-center to me. Since this is a quilt for a baby, do you think it would look okay? I suppose I could change the pattern a bit by aligning the 3rd & 4th panels so there would only be 2 'steps' on each side. Since this is only my second quilt and am giving it as a gift, I would like to hear suggestions from all of you who really know what you're doing and turn out such lovely quilts. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can give me. Karenn
