Split 9-Patch Finish

I got a bee in my bonnet about finishing the Split 9-Patch, so now it's done. I tried not to be too controlling about what fabrics and colours ended up next to each other, but there's several places that bug me.  I'm trying to talk myself into ignoring my misgivings.

I really don't like the light square in the top right hand corner, but I'm going to try colouring it in with a permanent pen and see if that makes it acceptable.

 If that doesn't fix it, I'll take the square out and replace it.

The other bit that bugs me is just above the star in the middle, where 2 squares seem to be the same shade of brown.

The left hand one is actually a madder orange, but it's blending into the square next to it too much for my liking.  I don't feel like doing any remedial work on it just yet, but I reserve the right to replace one of those squares some time in the future.

I have to come up with a new use for all the 2.5" squares and triangles. I've been playing around in EQ8 and there are a few blocks I'm considering.

I like this one.

It would make a nice quilt laid out like this.

Or this;

Or I could change that middle triangle to point out.

It has a circular effect.

Or  a more complicated layout.  I think I'll have to make a few samples and work out the best way to press seams.  If I can't nest the seams, I don't want to make it,
