Croton Quilt: Adding More Leaves

I’m still enjoying working with my colorful croton quilt.  I’ve added a red leaf on the left.

I couldn’t decide whether the fuschia leaf or the orange one (center) should go in front.   I fully constructed each one, so I’d have maximum flexibility down the road.

A yellow-green leaf front at center adds interest.

Or does it?  I thought I could just work it loosely, for color.  But, I see that it’s going to need the full treatment.

Since the veins are not visible yet, I think it’s hard to tell which leaves are folded and which are open.  I auditioned a black edge to help with that, but have since decided against it.
