Just a thought to play with, (maybe), but in another post, someone talked about the whites being too light and changing some of the blocks because of it. I would like to suggest another option to try out and that would be to put your white Kaffe in the center with the blocks just as they are, then surround them with the darker colors rotating around that center . That will now make the light your focal point much llike a center square Amish quilt or the Trip Around the World design. Not sure if that fits in with your original concept, but just what came to me based on what I had read previously. You might want to just forget those very white ones for this project if you want a totally blended feel. I don't know how to make white blend in in a much darker quilt. But it looks great to me!

Several of you have commented on my color scheme. There's a story behind it - I'm not fond of purple. About 15-16 years ago, I was in a quilt shop while on vacation. I wanted a souvenir, but didn't have space for a bunch of yardage, so was browsing the fat quarters. I saw a purple print next to a taupe one, and liked them together. I decided on the spot that I needed to explore this color combination, to learn more about using shades of purple. And that purple fat quarter has sat in my stash ever since. I've added a few purples over the years for applique projects, but I still have very little. Hence this project - I am finally addressing "my ignorance of the use of purple"

From my design wall this morning

Ironically, the taupe fat quarter I bought at the same time was used years ago. I think this quilt is going to work out fine.
