Progress on my new quilt for 2015

Hi all:

I was so excited about this quilt, that I had to keep going today and cut the rest of the  triangles. I am now trying to place them in a configuration that makes sense.

Here is what I have so far.

I noticed that the 2 halves of the bottom left hand corner block were too similar in colour, so I changed things around and came up with this.
I think this works better. I like seeing the definite diagonal lines of green versus blue/purple. As well, I have now marked them so that I know in which order to sew the triangles/blocks together.  I also purchased 2 additional charm packs of Kaffee Fasset (Tides and Cool) from the Missouri Star Quilt Co. and will make a pieced outer border using those charm squares.  Both of those fabric lines have similar colours, so I think they go well together.  If I only use the 9 main large blocks, the quilt will be too small and I was hoping to make a good size lap quilt.

Here is another arrangement.

Let me know what you think about these arrangements.
