love everything you have....i think it needs a dark...something that reads as navy and picks up the few navy details in the other prints... and maybe one much lighter...tho not much of it..... the green is perfect... it has a lot of yellow in it which is the direct complement to the blues you have chosen...just realize that all the blues you have chosen are the same value for the quilt...you just have to add some light and some dark to go with..... that green will be smashing with navy!... i read something years ago by Michael Miller, fabric designer and quilt maker....he said if a group of fabrics looked like something was wrong, to trust your eye but add don't subtract.... i think a little white on white and a couple of deep blues not solid but not much white in them either...one navy with a tiny line drawing with green in it would be wonderful.... just see what you can find....

read all the other remarks....i think the green is wonderful in there...it's what makes the blues soft and makes them stand out...contrast is your friend...i would put 2 or 3 more prints with the same green in there to tie them together....add, don't subtract.....
