The mountain peaks pattern is really great and I might try out some deep blues, greens, maybe some white for contrast. It is very generous of you to offer a quilt for the fundraiser!
I agree this choice of fabrics is dull and there is nothing to “catch someone’s eye”. There needs to be contrast in your fabrics. Perhaps some color? You could use some solids also for variety.
