Try to avoid checks, stripes, or anything else that has a directional pattern---- the small florals and wavy patterns are a good choice. :D
Do you have a design board to work on? They really help a lot when you are making color choices on a pattern like this one.
Learning the hard way, I totally agree with BottleBlonde about those checks, stripes, etc. Your quilt is looking super! Merge in those many hues of each color and it will continue to please everyone. As for a design board, if you are like me I do not have room for a large board so I have purchased the old-styled picnic table tablecloth. You know the kind with plastic on one side and sticky batting-like flannel on the back. Anyway, I throw that over a bed, lay my blocks out, rearrange them a million times and then fold the tablecloth up to put it away until I start on project again. The blocks stay put.
Do keep us posted at the completion of your quilt. :)
