Design wall muddle

I've been pulling out half-started (as opposed to half-finished) projecfs this week. I was piecing these 9-patches from a very pink jellyroll I was given. I used some whites, but also other lights in the alternating blocks. I think I'm having some value problems. I've also made some frame squares for the alternating blocks, using a green with pink print in the jelly roll. This is meant to be a children's hospital donation quilt. I'm not loving it over here. How does it look from over there? What could I do to fix it?  How do plain blocks in the butterfly print look instead of the other ones?

I also made some two-rail fence from my box of scrap bricks as a leader-ender project. I'm thinking I'm going to go with these large blocks that will finish at 16 inches, and maybe make a 9 patch of the rail fence. Certainly lots of oldies in here, but sometimes I have a lot of bricks of one colour, so I can pull together a block in a colourway.

These bunny blocks fall into the "they don't look like you" category that I saw another blogger post about recently. They're for a guild challenge. The ones at the left are paper pieced, with the eyes and nose embroidered. The solid blocks use a bunny print. I've heard some complaining and exclaiming by other guild members about the paper piecing, which is not my favourite technique either, but this IS  a challenge, and it certainly challenged me to keep my patience. I only had to rip out one seam, which is a record for me when it comes to paper piecing.
