Found the bandana fabric I wanted...
I saw bandana fabric in various colors and only bought it in purple, but I have finally got this fabric in various colors (thanks to my sister, the super shopper!!).
I intend to make a puzzle quilt with these fabrics, though I now am having second thoughts about two things.
First, even though there is a dark sort of redish color, I don't have any of the traditional red bandana fabric. I think I should get some.
Second, the tan fabric that is in front doesn't seem happy with the other colors. If you were planning this quilt, would you use the tan fabric?
So, if it was your quilt, would you find red bandana fabric (very easy to find) and would you use the tan??
Thanks for any opinions. The first picture will be of my fabric, the second of a quilt in the pattern I am going to use the fabric for.

The red you have works for me. If you get another red, I think you should take this one out.
I would not use the tan unless I had to have it to get the size I wanted. There is nothing wrong with the tan. I just happen to be a bright color girl.

Before sewing it all together with the tan, make one square up and see if you like it. That is the only way I can see if I like it and then have to ask a few people. I really need help when it comes to colors and sometimes when I get the whole quilt together it hits me and I don't finish the quilt.
