You can also say add only brights please and no black and white.
It also all depends what you plan on doing with the blocks. If they all go in a quilt it would be nice maybe to have something tie it all together like white on white, so you could ask for add white only and or any colors in the my fabric.
Maybe post the fabrics and ask people for ideas and then lay out some fabrics like it at home to give you an idea if you would like that color scheme.
I hope that was helpful.
what helped me was to look at quilts online and the old swap pictures where all returned blocks from one swapper are posted together.
