Now I can't remember which group was talking about value placement but this image is stuck in my mind as an excellent example of what a huge difference it makes. I just couldn't find the image at the time. Scroll down this page to the black/white quilt image. These are amazingly all the same blocks with changes in color placement!

Sorry the link doesn't work, Everyone. I have no clue about that. Type softexpressions.com in your url box. When you get to the site enter billie lauder in the search box and a couple of pages of her books will show up. Click on It all starts with a square. Just under the picture of the book is a purple box which when you click on that will show you an illustration of the quilt showing how much value and color placement can change the whole look of a block. If you study the black and white quilt you'll see they are all the same block. Maybe the others are as well - didn't spend any time on them. Hope this helps everyone.
