Love your choice of fabric. First I must say that I admire you for making a OBW. It's on my bucket list & I have several pieces of fabric that will make beautiful ones or at least I think they will.

Now, for my opinion....and it's only an opinion. When I look at OBW's that I really like, I see blocks grouped together with like colors. This produces the swirly element that makes the OBW look interesting to me. For me, yours is too fragmented & there's no place to rest your eyes. Would you consider trying a colorwash type look with the calming greens in the center? Would the heavier browner blocks look better on one of the corners?

I am attaching a couple of pictures of quilts that I saw on the internet & liked. Notice the calming areas. I DID NOT make them but really liked how the colors flowed to a serene final look. I am, also, a big fan, of adding small "stopper" borders & then adding a larger border of your original fabric to show off what you accomplished with all that cutting & sewing. Often a quilt changes it's whole look when you transition through all the fabrics.
