I agree with this. Maybe use the check blue for the bigger pin wheel and bring in a similar darker green picking up on the green she chose for the little pinwheels. I really like the fabrics she picked and love low contrast shabby chic quilts.

ITA re the bottom left pinwheel ... If you're using that pattern, watch that the pinwheels have the contrast to let them show.
You might want to add another one or two fabrics to your mix, though you can get some lovely subtle contrasts with what you have. However, don't get too carried away with add-ins, as this is what your Grandma chose!! And you want to keep it "her" quilt! Have fun making it. What a special project to work on.
