OK, I've added the border (not yet sewn) and rearranged the blocks yet again LOL
Thoughts? I'm going to leave it for the night so people can comment ...

It's looking really great. The one tweak I suggest is that a few of the blocks have their lines perfectly vertical, and I think they might look better rotated a bit. The seemingly random placement enhances the sense of motion. The blocks are the little yellow one, the turquoise one and medium blue one.
I like Tartan's suggestion to use two layers of fabric with the light fabrics to prevent the black from shadowing through.
I think it's really funny that I mistook your pin heads for a design element in your quilt. LOL!

ok, I've studied all the photos. I like the latest the best. But I see just a little tweaking needed. I see it being too crowded together. I think if you move things out more so it appears more random & less symmetrical it would look better. The right side is too aligned, I'd move the orange one out further into the corner. On the left, I think I'd change the black fabric on the pink cube from a solid black to a print of some sort so it wouldn't disappear into the background. Upper left, I'd move one of those cubes closer to the corner. Other than that, I see you're having a lot of fun with this, please let us see the finished product!

I make a hollow cube quilt and had it almost finished when I realized that my background would be black and I had a navy blue block right at the edge. It got switched!
