Unless we'll have a neutral between every piece of every color?
Thanks Joe's Mom - the green is not quite as dark as the photo and is very close to Bonnie's paint chip. I'm ok with it even if it's not a lot of contrast and I also really like the light fabric with flowers -- husband hates it and wants me to do the version with orange as the neutral - haha - quilt is not for him though... not sure who it is for - someone that likes orange I think.
If it is helpful to someone, especially if you plan to switch colors around; the % breakdown of colors using Bonnie's yardages are:
13.64% = Jay Blue
8.52% = Kilkenny Green
11.93% = Show Stopper Red
25.00% = Robust Orange/Outgoing Orange
40.91% = Neutrals (Marshmallow/Choice Cream/OysterBar)
