ok - call me crazy, but my first thought was to add a little orange to the mix. It would contrast with the other colors you have used and make them pop. It would also keep to the tropical theme you've got going with those fabrics. Very cute!

White sashing might give the eye a rest between colors. Am using prints like these in a Sudoku quilt! Love the aloha prints!

Yes, white sashing and/or white alternating blocks. Will add pop to your great colors.

If you have enough fabric, you could make this bunch the center medallion, then put a border around it, and put a border of more of your small blocks.

I like the punchiness of having them side by side, but there is need for a border soon to hold them together.

That is my very thought. Use a thin black sashing.

Very pretty! I like the the squares side by side - with a couple of borders to pull out your favorite colors from the main body of the quilt. Please post when you've decided & finished it. Thanks.

You may try laying it out with white sashing using some of your colored squares as cornerstones. Then look at it both straight and on point.
