I think the star would stand out more. How about finding a floral that has a bit of another color in it to tie them together:red or green?
Also looks like they have repeated fabrics...Center fab matches row 5 (right after the cream), and so on. If you did that, you would not have to pick out so many! let us know how it goes...

Agreed!

Could you print the red quilt in grayscale and place along side the fabrics you have in grayscale and then match up the "grays" the best you can?
