The brown doesn't work for me. The other colors look like yellow and peach to me (could just be my monitor) however those are both warm colors. Perhaps think about adding a cool color like green or blue, be sure to make it a more intense shade to make the others pop.

Default color values

You need three values. Light, medium and dark. Change light brown to a dark brown, then it should work

I think they go together, but they are all medium value. It needs a really dark dark to add some spice, then you will have something.

I like all the fabric but think you need at least one or two additional that will add some contrast -- perhaps a lively print with a darker background or even an almost white that will add some sparkle.

I don't like the 2 greens together. I'd use one or the other. Are you adding a cream for the background?

Personally, if my monitor is showing the colors as they truly are, I would trade the solid rose for a blue print (like the blue in the adjacent piece) and remove the brown altogether. Maybe a cream tone-on-tone as the background color.

SEE everyone has a different opion but the only one that matters is yours if you like it use it. what i see on the web now days it doesn't matter much i see all kinds of combos and most of them look good. i often have problems getting in enough variety

I am doing the same block of the month. I think your colors go together but am concerned that you may not have enough contrast. If you print out your picture in grayscale you can determine how much value change you have in your colors. This will make a great deal of difference in how your quilt comes out.
