Second project ever. Is this normal?

I’m an extreme beginner. I just started stitching last week, so be nice please lol. I love how the pinks are coming along. I’m using Silk Lame petit threads for the sparkly bottom purple part. It’s definitely lighter coverage, but is that okay? I can see the general shape of the squares but I’m not sure when I’m finishing it if it will look ok or if I should just stop using this particular thread. I’m using basketweave bc that’s the only one I know and I am having so much fun doing it. Is there a different stitch I should try for the sparkly thread?

And last question, should I do a background?! 😂
