Beautiful fabrics. I agree with the others on the 2 whites looking too similar & the 2 darks on the end being very much alike. After looking at the Surf Song pattern, they do use 2 darks that are almost the same. To me the whites need a bit more color change.
Another thing I see which kind of looks off to me is the 10th fabric from the right...the pink/yellowy one...looks like it needs to be moved next to the lilac/purple one. It just doesn't seem to be playing nice with the 2 on either side of it. I really like zinger fabrics in my quilts. The yellow in that piece of fabric is just crying out for a friend with some yellow in it.
Another board member made the same quilt

I looked up Surf Song Bargello quilt images using Yahoo. Those quilts are gorgeous. Seems like almost any variations of fabrics makes into a gorgeous quilt with this pattern. Can't wait to see how yours turns out.
