Pamelor, for my two cents, is that you need to watch for greater contrast, clear high contrast between your block center and your sashing. I noticed in the second photo the black/white prints did not provide enough contrast and they blend in with the blocks in the center rather than provide a line between the large center blocks. Hope that helps as you move ahead with your collection of 2.5's.
Do you view your project with your phone camera turned to gray scale? It will show the contrast before you go too far into the stitching process. I also have a red piece of plastic called a ruby finder. It works like the gray scale on the phone.
Thanks for posting your photos and asking your questions.
