As for the fabrics: I like both reds - they play nicely together. If you use the patterned one, the blocks will appear more subtle. If you use the solid, the blocks will pop more.

I see a small stripe of an ochre-yellow under the black block in the upper center. I really like that with the reds. That color is repeated throughout some of the blocks and it would go good as a frame.

Hope that helps.
