does this look weird?

It's going to be a gorgeous hanging. I'm also suggesting to leave more space between the poppies and leaves. Have you thought about using double batting to add dimension?

I think the contrasting thread is lovely and actually enhances the poppies.
The part I find a little odd is the outer leaf shapes. It kind of distracts from the poppies. Maybe make them a little smaller, or stipple in/around them more, with the background thread, to make them recede into the background a bit.
I like how using the blue thread in the background pulls the overall tone of the piece into a different mood.
