I think you're on the right track, but I agree that the fabric with the small black flowers belongs more in the dark pile than in the lights. It looks like one of the strips in the second block is dark where it should be light (the giraffe pattern). Amazingly, it still looks great. Log cabin can be a very forgiving pattern, and your fabrics are lovely. I actually like the black mixed in. I think it makes for a more dramatic quilt. Keep going and you will have a stunning quilt.

There are 50 ways you can put the block togeather when they are done so keep on working on it you are doing great. In reference to the solid black, either put it in the same place on the block or delete it altogeather. The eye goes to the solid black and you do not see the whole block.

You go girl!!! It looks really good, don't sell yourself short. Maybe with your border you could use something like the black and red and make it pop!! I would also quilt it with a red thread
