If you plan on making the Ohio star quilt I think you might have too many fabrics in the medium value range.

Convert your photo to B&W and look at it again. With the OS quilt the value is the key, and the example has pretty well defined lights and darks. If you want yours to be just as defined, you need more lights and darks and less of some of the colors in the middle range.

If you were looking to make a bargello though ... the selection is perfect!!

As for the blue quilt ... I don't think values are going to make as much of a difference. So whichever one you were planning on using for the blue quilt the fabric collection is fine.


Actually ... I looked again and the selection that is more on the red color range has a more distinct value range than the purple with the exception of the 4 colors at the top of the photo in the middle row.
