I definitely see a big improvement from the first pic to the second. I think the wonky you're seeing in the blue quilt is due to contrast. That filigree looking fabric has a white background, and to my eye it "vibrates" within the quilt. Also, in the top row, 3rd square starting from the left, that center fabric is blue with white dots, so it offers some movement. Then there is the use of several white pieces in the other squares, plus some nearly white background in others.

Many of your greens are medium, so you are lacking some of the contrast you see in the blue quilt. Also, you've used some white, but it's solid. If you can find some fabrics with green on a white background I think you would get some of the movement you're looking for.

I think I've just restated what others have said using different words, but something will click when you hear it in your way of thinking.

Here are a couple of fabrics from our stash that have the contrast (but not the color) I'm talking about.
