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

Seams like you have it all figured out as boston1954 said "ready set go".

Love the colors you have chosen and really like the strong blues that Elsie1 suggested.

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.
