Are you planning to fussy-cut the rightmost fabric for your inner selection? I would do so, to ensure that you get the right balance of colors for your center. There will only be a few blocks of the centermost colors.
I think that maybe adding a lighter fabric near the light blues or yellows or a darker by the first pink would be good, I agree that your values are much the same. Photographing your fabrics really makes a difference in how you view them, doesn't it?
If I may, I'm enclosing 2 pics of the batik fabric and the blooming 9 patch I'm currently working on. After I started cutting and sewing, I found that my 2 favorite fabrics are the green snake and the cobalt. They both have a small pattern with high contrast so they flow well against their neighboring fabrics.

This was an interesting post. I really didn't know what a 'blooming 9 patch was. Rebecca S sort of cleared that up, and i can see that it is the values of the fabrics that are necessary. Will be very interested to see your quilt 'lovingmysoldier'!

I like #2 best...... I did one with jewel tones for my daughters wedding gift. I'll try to post it. If each touching fabric has 2-3 colors of the one it "blooms" with, they will blend well. Great choices!! Here's the link to mine... album of my quilts. Near the bottom are 3 pictures. 1) is jewel tone fabric lined up 2) is begining of quilt 3) finished quilt:
