Definitely add some strong blues and maybe some greens to your blocks. The colors you have are all in the same color side, very hot. You need a "zinger" fabric and that will be your contrast. Even a medium purple or plum might work. This search for New York Beauty quilts is a beautiful representation of the need for the contrast. https://www.bing.com/images/search?q...ilts&FORM=IGRE

I'd like to see some green in there along with the blue that someone else suggested. Maybe the white could be toned down just a bit. Just my opinions - New York Beauty blocks are fabulous - Google them and you will find lots and lots of images.
