I like that you changed the cornerstones to the floral. Maybe you could use the lighter fabric you have in the first picture to do a narrow border then do a wider border out of the floral and bind with the dark purple.

Something you might try that I did on one of mine that 'just didn't quite look right' was to add an accent to the cornerstone that gave it a bit more zing. You could add some bling, if this would be appropriate to the recipient, or you could just add a second square of fabric on top of the cornerstone. This could either be a smaller contrasting square or another square on point, of one of your main fabrics.
Wrote the above before you changed the cornerstones to the floral. Really like that change! It brightens it up and ties it all together.
