    Just 'reading' this on the computer monitor, I'd suggest swapping the 2 I have marked with a black star.
    Going to be so pretty!

    I like the colors just as you've shown them.

I've read about them and from what I understand the value means more than the color as far as position.
    I agree with Leslie (and Jan). Otherwise, great colors...go for it!!

    I would swap fabrics #2 (light leafy pink print) and #3 (more "solid" pink) from the right. Fabric #2 reads darker than fabric #3 (when viewed in gray scale) and seems to flow better if you reverse them. Just my opinion....I do love all your fabric choices. This is going to be a beautiful quilt!

    I would use your grey scale as the bible. Order them as mentioned by others and I think they all will work. The colors are beautiful.

    Maniac - this will be so beautiful.. I do agree that what Jan said. Once you get it organized and cut out - it will go together quickly. When I made mine this past summer, I put the strips together in sections- I think 4 at a time, and then put the groups together. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Have fun, and I hope your good friend will be ok.
