    I love the fabrics but I think you need a color to make them pop! Are you doing sashing or borders.?

    Purple/mauve/lavender and different greens are one of my favourite colour combos. Your fabrics are lovely!

    No sashing, not sure about the border yet. I'll have to see how the blocks work out. Thanks for all your kind words and input!

    I think a few more saturated colors in the same palette would be lovely - cool and calm, perfect for a bedroom

    I went to the Linda Franz site and clicked on the book with the pattern here
    http://lindafranz.com/shop/lucy-bost...the-crosses/31

    There were 3 colorways the one on the far right was with medium and light fabrics and like ube quilting stated the colors you selected will make a soft and relaxing comfortable quilt. And if that is what you want these will be wonderful and sufficient.

    If you want something more dramatic and with pop as suggested the first two colorways show some options with a dark also. If you do want the effect of a dark I think a dark purple or green would work better than black or brown.

    I like the colors you have selected. I wouldn't add more unless you really want to.

    I think another color would be nice...What about adding a "touch" of yellow?
