One thing with prints is, they appear very different depending on the distance you are away from the quilt. If you're looking at them from up close, say 2 - 3' they look like one color and you see the print, but from across the room = 15' away, they'll appear as a totally different color. I make Art Quilts and all my quilts are displayed on a wall, so this is something I struggle with. As I'm choosing fabrics, I have to remind myself to preview the fabric from a distance back, not just on my table by my sewing machine. I made a quilt that had lots of metallic gold and copper in the prints and those metallics disappeared when seen from across the room.
