My suggestion is to find a print that you love and pull the colors out of it for the accents and neturals.

I think it needs a zip somewhere in there. To me it's too bland. Just saying ----

Since you ask ....you don't have enough contrast. Do you have the red or green view finders you can buy at a quilt shop? Look through those and you will see what some of us are talking about. Remember "color gets all the credit, but value does all the work".

I think they look nice together. I will be looking forward to seeing your finished block.

I agree. Maybe not the same "mood".

I think you need a purple or blue.

If you can place all the fabrics together and walk back about 10 to 15 ' you will see if they will go together. If there is a fabric that does not go, it will stand out.

Yes, they go together, but they are all the same tone. How about adding a bright or dark or two. Will give any pattern more life.
