Well--I switched the 11th and 12th fabrics...but will that be too many "solids" in a row then too many prints in a row? And are the creams different enough?
Sigh... I need to stick with something at some point but with 20 pieces, there are so many ways to change it!

When I made my Swish Bargello, I needed 24 fabrics. I chose 30 to 35, laid them on the cutting table. Everytime I walked in the room I looked at them. If one slapped me in the face I took it out and put it away. When I got down to about 26, 27 fabrics I cut 2 1/2" strips from each of them and put the bolts away. I pinned the 2 1/2" strips on the design wall in the order I had in mind at the moment.
Again, each time I walked into the room I looked at them. If one of the strips slapped me in the face I moved it closer to a cousin, sister or brother. Looked again each time I came into the room. If one strip kept jumping out at me and didn't disappear anywhere I put it, I took it out and put it away. When all the strips disappeared within themselves I felt like I was ready.
In Danmar's instructions and tutorial she says the fabric only has to work with the 2 fabrics on either side of it. That rule and my disappearing act worked for me. Good luck.

I think you have a perfect mix there. This description of the disappearing act sounds like one I will use when I do mine. I have been playing with an online "pallet" of colors on one web site, doing the same of keep going back to it later to see if I still like it.

I am not normally drawn to these types of fall colors - I'm more of a blue/purple/green fan myself. That being said - I LOVE your fabric choices and think this will be an incredibly beautiful quilt!! Or as others have said - you could just pack them up and send them all to me-LOL! Good luck on your journey with this fabulous quilt!!

I changed my mind!!! I'm allowed, right? :lol:

Now I think the creams are broken up a bit--and the prints aren't so in a row... see the new fabrics in the cream section? LOVE them!! I don't think I'll be changing my mind. :thumbup:
