Since I have never finished mine, you can take my advice as untried, but I have seen pictures of several OBWs done by another instructor, and this is what she did. I love your fabrics and colors. I look forward to seeing the finished quilt.
This is actually how I did this- if you look closely you can see a dark to light to green along the diagonals.
The problem with this print may be too many colors- it is really difficult to pick a dominant color in many of the blocks, because they are equally two colors.

I decided i didn't really care on this one, moved a few, and am now sewing.
