I think it needs a some sashing and a border. Needs some color.
Try laying some fabric between the blocks and see what a difference it makes. Usually a quilt is longer and has less width.
The way you have it pinned it has more width than length. (?)
Great job on the embroidery.

The pink (pale) would be very delicate.
