Do these fabrics go together?

I agree with some others that the yellow isn't best with the others. I'd replace it with a fabric that is much lighter or much darker, but in the same color family with one of the others, perhaps another green. I like the print with the rest because it "happys" it up.

I am thinking about doing this one myself. I don't like the scrappy look, so I am going to find one focus fabric and pull 5 or 6 colors from that and call it good.
Your colors all look like they are in medium value range. I would think we would need everything from darks to lights for that project. It doesn't look like you have enough contrast between the colors. I like them, but some need to be darker and some need to be lighter, does that make since?

I think it is your block and you should use what you want to. These are all lovely and I would put them together. You will get many opinions on this so just use the ones you want and do not worry about the rest.

...not sure what you're going for - but agree that the brown is a bit out of place - any chance you have something that will pick up the turquoise in the swirly pattern upper right hand side? Love to see what you come up with!

I like the colors together..if I removed any it would be the last one (bottom right) and I would use white for sashings. You have to understand I love 30's quilts and those colors would work great for me but it really would depend on what you are making...just my opinion. Mother's neighbor's husband used to say all fabric goes together when you put it in a quilt and I must say her quilts were heavenly!
