Years ago, Craftsy used to have great deals on kit closeouts. I don't usually buy kits, but sometimes the price with fabric was too good to pass up. One kit had batiks that seemed just to not jell together, so after I made the 16 patch blocks, it sat in a bag. 
Then I got the bright idea to make 2 quilts and add borders to make them a good size. The orange and gray one has been made and is waiting for someplace to call home. The more pastel one has been a top, but when I got a request, this one was quicker to quilt and get ready. Quilted with Glide Cleopatra on top and Dove Grey DecoBob in the bobbin. The back is a beautiful batik, wish I had more.

I bought several closeout kits from Craftsy back in those days. I don't know if even one of them became the "package version" - if so it was a bargello kit. But I don't think that one was a closeout.
However, the fabrics were usually very nice to work with.
It looks like 2 quilts was the best choice there. This one is so pretty.
Two quilts were definitely the way to go!
I like what you came up with - they both look great
LOVELY! - And I agree - two quilts was the way to go - ;))
They both look great. You always figure something out when you don't like something.

This is lovely and soothing! A great solution when the color mix isn't working for you!
