I don't think I have ever purchased fabric for a quilt from one fabric line. Usually, I buy what jumps out at me. Well, really a fabric that really catches my eye, which is generally my focus fabric, then I will choose coordinating fabrics from there. I was taught to have different scales in fabric, large, medium to small, and then solid or a fabric that reads as a solid, more if you want more colors. Also, check the selvedge on the focus fabric, you will generally see circles of colors that were used in that fabric, and there you have the way to choose fabrics that will go together. Hope this helps.
