Default Feedback on quilt design please

I would really appreciate some feedback on my latest quilt design. I call it "Geese Flying Around the Cabins." First, some background.

Blue is my favorite color. I love Edyta Sitar's fabrics and my fabric choices here are from her Blue Skies, Baker's Dozen and Bed of Roses collections. Of course, Blue Skies and Baker's Dozen apparently won't be available until October 2020, at least according to the FatQuarterShop.com. The Log Cabin block is special to me given that one of my main areas of interest is in the study of Abraham Lincoln. Cheryl made me a quilt a few years ago based off a quilt kit that featured a die cut of Lincoln. She changed some things about it (and she found that having me for a customer wasn't that much of a joy. She ripped out more than a few seams. Since then, she has declared she's never quilting for me again) The quilt hangs over my desk.

I ran this by the boss, and she likes it, so I think if we can get the fabric at some point it will go in the queue. I think given that it's pretty much all squares (except the Flying Geese, which Cheryl has made before) it should be fairly simple to make. The Log Cabin blocks are 20x20 and the High Flying Squares are 4 3/4.The Flying Geese strips are 20x5. The Single Irish Chain blocks are the only thing that have nothing to do with flying or cabins, but I just like the looks of them.

Would appreciate any and all comments.
