I would say, make the center 8 x8--that would give a balanced pattern left to right and top to bottom.
I agree that a deep red narrow inner border would look lovely and really make the white pop.

I like the last layout, but I think it needs a red in the top right corner and bottom left corner to be balanced. It also needs the red border next to the quilt, then the border fabric you are showing, but putting that fabric next to the quilt, might wash it out. You have a very pretty quilt in the works, but it would probably be in your interest to put it down for a while longer, then go back to it..............just my humble opinion

[QUOTE=HillCountryGal;5538912]Is it possible to concentrate all the darker blocks in the middle? Then let each color fade to the next.
How about putting all the dark blocks together in sets of 4? You could put them in the middle as the above post suggests and work out from there. Also I think a narrow inner border before the large one might bring the quilt together more to your liking.
