Wink Which fabrics to choose?

I want to make a DP9 and am trying to use mostly fabrics from my stash. Which of these fabrics would you use? My fav is the beige with the flowers, but what would you put with it? Choosing fabrics has never been my strong suit!

Please help! Quilt Inspector is keeping my sewing chair warmed for me while we await your input..........lol

I like them all. Personally, I'd leave out the polka dots to make it a more "calming" quilt, or put them in for a little pizzazz; just depends on the effect you're going for.

I would use 2, 3, and 4 just using the 3 colors or 3, 4 and 6. I'm sure whatever you use will be beautiful.

I might use the polka dots a little on the front and a LOT on the back! Love the left 4!

I like them all, but I also lean to the 1st 4. How many fabrics do you want in your D9P? The inspector doesn't look like he intends to move, at least not until dinner time.

Since the inspector isn't looking, I would use the 1st 4 or 5 . The red is beautiful, but looks too red.
