After reading your replies I agree something needs to change so I made up a mox-up layout in EQ7 and of course I forgot to change a couple star points in the 2nd row middle section but I think you can get an idea. Using the same fabrics but in different locations. Think this will be more pleasing. I tried to scan the actual fabrics to give a better idea. Don't know if this makes it look better or worse.

Now that star point looks lost again the blue/white fabric. What do you all think?

Hope it helps.

These fabrics are stunning. I like the change you made based on Chester's recommendation....this will be a very elegant quilt when done, as someone already pointed out.

I'm working on one right now and I agree with others who have said that there's not enough contrast between the dark blue and the dark green, although they're beautiful fabrics. Your mocked-up software version is better.
