    Third row far right and bottom row far right are very similar in feel, so I would move the one in the third row up to the top left. Love your blocks!

    I think swoon quilts look best with a narrow sashing in the background color like this - http://quiltstory.blogspot.com/2012/...lt-finish.html The cornerstones also add interest. Your blocks are looking great.

    It looks like you have 5 pinkish blocks and 5 mostly green blocks as well as a couple of others. I would checker board those colours first and then put in the others.

    I think maybe a sashing would make your blocks pop.

    I agree! maybe even add a sash? Nothing to draw away from the squares but to separate them?
