Are you planning on quilting this yourself? Or sending it to a long-armer?
The reason I ask is: I've only had one quilt done by a long-armer and oh my!! She brought it to life. Told her to do whatever she thought was right. My only requirement was not too heavy on the quilting. It was a black & white with small touches of red. She quilted it in lime green thread. Totally impressed with how she saw it.

Nice geometric design. Does it bother you because it is only 2 colors? If that is it, I don't know what you can doth other than taking it apart in moderate size sections and adding other blocks with additional colors. But personally, I would leave it as is and have it quilted in dark blue thread in a fairly elaborate design--which will add a third dimension and perk it up. Appliqués are another option but I hate to appliqué so that wouldn't be an option for me. The only other idea that occurs to me is to switch out the borders to a different fabric that has a bold, colorful print.
