This is a 36 block square. 24 have gold centers and 10 have various other colored center. Balancing color in any quilt is important - no matter how you rearrange these squares, the color balance is going to pop and right now all that is "popping" is gold, gold, gold. If that is what you want, great, but what if you changed out some of the gold for more subdued - look at just the bottom row - looks better color wise.
Secondly - your layout might look more appealing if more controlled. Study quilts that look scrappy and why they are appealing - usually they will have alternating layout designs. Like upper left hand corner, bottome right hand corner all the way across that row - then the next row will be reversed and on opposite corners - then third row back to the same as first fow. Hope this makes sense.
This much you do know - you know you don't like what you have now - and can learn why. Don't give up, this has potential and will be beautiful when finished and you will know a whole lot more for the next creative project.
