JanieW - l *love* your green hourglass blocks - the contrast with the other lighter colors is very attractive.
In one of Jinny Beyer's books, she wrote about her approach to color/fabric selection and suggested always trying to include some of a very dark fabric that reads as a solid at a distance. Having a strong dark makes all the light and medium fabrics sparkle with the contrast. Your green is not *super* dark, but it's dark enough to make those lighter fabrics look even prettier than they do on their own. Good choice, even if's by accident or necessity.
