Carol, those colors look gorgeous together. Is the paisley part of the greens?

What I see when I look at Bonnie's paint chips is 5 colors of basically equal saturation with not much variation in value, and I think that also describes your group of fabrics, so I don't see why they wouldn't work as a soft and muted version of the quilt, as long as you keep your light neutrals very light; there is supposed to be good contrast between all of the colors and your neutral. Or, maybe, since your palette is light, go with a dark neutral?

What were you thinking to use as your red? I would call the red the dominant color in Bonnie's palette, as the brightest and darkest. When I cover up your darkest pink, it's the aquas that stand out as most vibrant to me, so maybe use aqua as your red and pink as your orange?

edit

I'm just realizing that the fabrics are laid out on a white, which is probably your neutral.
