OMG I love love love the first block just the way it is, and the 2nd block is nice too, but the thing I don't like so much about the navy blue fabric is that the scale of the print is so close to the scale of the red print. And yes it is a touch dark. I really like the way the orange and green are more varied in scale though. What do you have that might be a bit larger scale? And do you have anything turquios? It would be an interesting surprise of a color combination that is so in right now (if you like the funky color combinations of the last couple of years). Cute block! What is it called?
