    I think you're correct. Not enough contrast. A little muddy.

    I won't comment on colors because I think they are such a personal choice. In my opinion I think more contrast is needed. Whatever color or maybe 2 colors you want to have the loudest voice(s) need need at least a dark shade to strengthen it (them). For example the brown or green or peach/orange (hard to be sure on a computer)- picking one or 2 and finding a dark fabric to give more contrast. I would also pick at least one and add a very light shade of that color. That's my 2 cents.

    I don't see a whole lot of contrast.

    Think the top 3 are really nice. Not sure about the last 2 but from my experience I find that when it's finished things I wasn't sure about look fine. What will be your background fabric? I have done the first 2 blocks.

    The colors are great. It's the contrast that is missing. I would add a couple of very dark to the mix.

    i'm not keen on the yellow-green in the bottom left. maybe bring in a blue/purple - whichever is the color in the flowers

    It's a good start, but they seem all pretty much the same tone, so zing it up a bit with a couple of darks and a bright or two (maybe pick out the brightest blue from the floral print).
