Hello ... I really like the color scheme.

I agree with others regarding the 2nd from the right, but I would also remove the center one - the green and white circles. When I choose bargello fabrics (I've made about 6 of them), I use fabrics that don't have a color or value change as large as the smallest piece that I will cut. The pattern you chose will use 1/4" pieces. Both of these fabrics have both color and value changes larger than 1/4".

I would also swap some of the fabrics around. I converted your selection photo to a B&W print to help decide value. I always do this, or view through a color viewer before I commit. Sometimes the results are remarkable. Take another look.

Counting 1-20 from the left (note: I'm counting the two fabrics I suggested removing to make numbering easier)

Swap 3 & 4
move #7 to between 4 & 5
Swap 8 & 9
Move #6 all the way to the 2nd from right position
Move #3 all the way to between 8 & 9

Re-photograph and convert to B&W again and see how you like it.
