My advice, I make Civil War dresses and working on my first quilt, the bottom fabric with the big flowers is not quite correct. They usually say the flowers were no bigger than a penny. Even the one next to it with the with, then pink and blue fabric I have not seen before either. And I never seen the blue one in the middle before either.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but this is what I have seen in the stores and also on the fields at events.
Enjoy your project.

Here's my first stab at fabrics. The farthest right is dull green; the left is rust; the others are brown. Looking for some plum or maybe more green.

Evie-- Does the print in the third stack feel CW? Let me know if I need to find something else or go shopping! 
--I think this really feels CW!

Please give a look and advise. Going through my stash I realize I like medium bright and colorful. Here is my selection:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]350892[/ATTACH]
The top blue on stack 1 is a little brighter than it looks, more a "cadet" blue with navy print. The dark in stack 2 is really a dark brown with (either) a darker brown or black print. The "white" on the third stack is actually a tan. I guess the camera's flash whitened it a bit. Does the print in the third stack feel CW? Let me know if I need to find something else or go shopping!
