if it was me i would get rid of the brown and go with a purple and find a green/yellow in the same tone as the green. it sorta makes the others a little sickly looking. to me.

I don't like the one on the bottom right with the others, but maybe that's just me.

I think you did a good job matching, they will look good together, in a quilt. Please post pictures when you are done!

I'd prefer a more clear lavender or lt purple instead of the grayish mauve one on the bottom right. The rest look good to me. The gray tone doesn't fit, IMO.

I think the first three go well together. You might add a blue to these. Just my opinion. Please post a pic when you are done.

You asked for honest opinions and I guess I would say that I wouldn't make a quilt with the fabrics. They just don't seem to mesh well with each other.

I want to say thank you for all your great replies. Looking at the craftsy site again I found that the teacher is planning on using over 30 fabrics. What other fabric color & prints should I be looking for.

I agree, I think they are too bland. They need something to make them pop. There aren't any lights or darks, they are all mediums IMHO. I would look for something that would really pop. Maybe a bright lime green or a bright clear blue.

I forgot to add--I really like the colors you picked--just not together. I love every one of the fabrics that you picked.
