I love the colors but it feels chaotic (to me). Mom3's rearrangement is more disciplined. Consider using her arrangement but flip every other block upside down or flip all the blocks in every other row.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to how the triangles in the blocks are turned, it seems confusing. I would rearrange until I get a pleasing look. Try having the triangles all the same place, then try every other one, and so on, until you reach a point were it says, yeah! Let us see it when you are done!

I like the gradient idea and the fabrics are lovely. However, I do think that the "confetti" like scattering of the gold triangles takes away from both the gradient and lovely fabric. The gold block in the upper left-hand corner isn't consistent with the dark to light effect. IMHO if you organized your triangles so that there is a common square in the middle, I believe it would look more cohesive. What I do love about quilting is being able to move blocks around and seeing what glorious patterns can evolve.

I see a weak Horizontal Line running from Top Right down to bottom left. I like this. But it is not Strong. Try adding some blocks that are black-on-black, with almost no contrast. Or some solid black squares. This will make a cleaner design. Since it is a small wall hanging, it might benefit by making it taller and more narrow. I'm glad you haven't sewn it yet. Keep re-arranging and show us again.
