You might look to add pink florals to your stash, and also fabrics that have both pink and blue flowers (so you have some transition fabrics to work with).
It seems to me that many of your florals are of large flowers in one color. Try adding in some smaller sized florals, and also some non-floral fabrics for variations in texture. For example, even if you wanted to stick with all blues, some ocean blues and sky blues would add a lot of textural variation.
I agree to this comment and would like to add something. I hope you will stand it :lol:.
What your eyes are missing is a contrast, you've got some proposals, let me add something.
Imagine a triangel with one of the base colors blue, yellow and red in each corner. Every color is the neighbor of the other two and no one has an opponent.
Now mix the respective neighbors. You get a hexagon with blue - green - yellow - orange - red - violet.
In this diagram any color has an opponent. The complementary color of blue is orange.
You can settle for one of the possible contrast colors:
pink would arouse a warm charism, yellow a chilly and orange a blazing one.
To apply the color onto the finished quilt, it's possible to accentuate some petals with quilting thread or stitching thread.
Please excuse my english, I struggled :oops: and hope it is understandable
