I am way out of my comfort zone here so all suggestions and opinions are very welcomed!
Brights aren't in my wheelhouse either but I love the batiks you've picked out! And I think the black will really set them off -- I think the quilt will look like a stained glass window. And I think the red/purple you chose as the border if great, too. I love the pattern you've chosen. What is the name of it? It looks like the type that would work well with a variety of different "looks". I can't wait to see this when it's done!
