Pagzz, your colors are gorgeous and bright.
Carol, like all the others, I love your peacock fabric on its own and as a blender, because it ties all the colors of the quilt together, but I agree that in small pieces it won't impress. I'd definitely use it in a border and it will shine there.
Kele, I love your alternate colors. The original photo has green and really impressive sunsets can have purple casts just before light disappears.
Christine of the Merkles, all your colors are luscious, especially the corals. I think that most sunsets have more of the pinky orange colors than the Valspar color shows. More importantly, your pinky fabric pulls all your coral/oranges together.
