Hi KWhite - Maria Peagler here. You've done a great job in trying out what is a difficult block. Your fabrics are great, and here is my advice: you've got a lot of everything going on. A lot of pattern, color, and a complicated block design. Decide what you want to stand out, and make everything else simple.
Specifically, your black background fabrics are too close in value and color to your foreground fabrics. If you want to keep the black, pick something lighter in value than the animal prints. If you want to keep the tiger prints and their friends, select a lighter background print (above those prints).
I love to get in on color discussions, and thanks for the recommendation here!
