I like your fabrics. I am doing the same BOM. What background fabric are you using?

I am using an off white - sort of cream color. I agree with all of you about the lack of contrast. These are just the first few fabrics I picked. I also want to find fabric with different patterns, but when I was at Joann's they didn't have any.

I like the colors and think they'll go well together.

They work well in my opinion except for the bottom right color. It seems dull compared to the others.

They all go together but need some pop - add a fabric that isn't so grayed.

I like the colors, but I think the two pinks (?) (top left and top right are too similar, they would blend into each other. Others said it, perhaps more contrast between colors. I am guilty of choosing too-similar colors and while I like it pre-quilt, I have been very unhappy with the result... Good luck on this, we want pics!

Not wild about the yellow or brown with the other 3, I do agree it is often hard to tell on the computer. Maybe a purple/blue and a cream on cream. It also depends on the block. I like all of them individually!! Alas I am a fabriholic and have not done the 12 step program....

I quess it may depend on the block your doing. (?) You have 2 peachy colors that appear the same, the green and yellow are similar, and the brown just doesn't fit.
