Keep the comments coming friends! 
Right now I'm still stuck on using large squares (of the cactus fabric) and narrow sashing as a pattern, mostly because I'm having a hard time "seeing" the cactus fabric being paired with more than 1 other fabric.
The BQ quilt is exciting and fun looking-- impressed that your 9 year old granddaughter is making it,
CindyB-- but the retro 50s vibe I get from it wouldn't work in my bedroom.
Again, because I'm having a hard time managing more than 1 coordinate, the Warm Wishes quilt is not for this project but I LOOOOOOOOOVE the pattern. Not sure why it appeals to me so much but I really want to make a fall quilt using that pattern and Civil War reprints. Thanks
Tartan for giving me my next project!
Barb, I'll keep that pattern in mind-- thank you!
Glad some of you are feeling my fabric choices-- I was a little worried everyone would say NOPE to my picks
And I was totally thinking of cactus flowers when I picked out the pinks; so cool that others have the same picture!
I'm surprised to see that green is being recommended as the second color, tho. I have to be honest here, I'm worried that would be too bland. If keep the sashing narrow, which I intend too, I feel like a contrasting color wouldn't overwhelm the design. Or maybe it would. I'm off to audition some greens with the cactus fabric right now.
