I also like the idea of adding additional blocks to balance the design as someone else mentioned.

The bottom right square looks like it should be white. Like the other three corners.

I know the one block is sewn wrong, noticed that when I was taking the pic and meant to say something about it. I am going to play with it again and see what else comes up.

And I find taking a picture is a good way to not only preview the layout but to use for reference when you start to sew it together.

I agree about the "needs to be more evenly distributed." That said, I've made my share of quilts that were purposely NOT evenly distributed. Do what makes you smile! :)
