You did a great job putting together your "practice" bargello, as well as picking out colors. I do think that you could use a bit more contrast in the lightest ones. But with that said, I know how hard it is to find that last one or two fabrics that fit in just right. I searched everywhere to find a darker teal (for my avatar...same pattern) and finally found it in Chicago (I live in eastern Indiana). You will know when you find the right ones....don't settle for something less just because you are in a hurry to get started....LOL!
