I am going to throw a curve ball in here and suggest you actually have two quilts here. The peacock looks great on the orange patch background, and the more traditional blocks to either side are lovely. But I think these two elements (peacock, blocks) vie for attention.
I would give them a friendly divorce, and put the peacock up on the orange, with the blue borders, and reconsider that as a standalone piece, thinking about what would/could/should be added to make it better.
Ditto the blocks!
