I like the fabric on the right but not with the two other ones. I would try to find something darker as the other fabric, maybe a small print of the dark color that isin that fabric and then throw in some cream color. Good luck. They will love anything you give them with love.

Sorry - my first impression was drab and/or muddy.
The side fabrics DO go together with the center piece, but I don't like the side fabrics with each other.
I think the first two on the left are okay just by themselves.
And the middle one with the right one by themselves are tolerable.
The three of them together don't do much for me.
But it is YOUR quilt and YOUR neighbors. Maybe my monitor has drabbed the colors down a lot.

I agree. I like the center batik.

I took the fabrics outside and photographed them in natural sunlight. I'm starting to rethink the one on the right also
I am going for muted. The neighbor is 82 yo retired minister and his wife's color palate (and the home decor) is pink, pink, pink, emerald green and more pink! In fact the realtor made her put away most of her pillows, throws, floral arangements and other decor as he felt the house wouldn't show well with the deluge of out dated colors.

Since they are moving, she may not have the same color scheme in their new home, so substituting
something else may be more fitting.
Of course, there is always this: the husband may be more on the same wavelength with the
realtor than he has ever made known.
My hubby calls it: "going along to get along."

My monitor reads the one on the right as having a pink hue, which kind of makes sense for the wife. I don't think it goes with the other two (which are lovely, by the way!). For some reason, I thought of the two left fabrics with a dark gray fabric.
