I love the middle one with it but I think I would like to a deeper shade of blue (aqua) for the bottom triangle below the duck.

For the subject matter of the block (duck on water) I think I'd look for something else entirely... like trees. Sorry to be a pain in the behind.

Of these three I would definitely use the sunflowers.

Of these three, I actually prefer the pumpkins for color and intensity, but what's a duck doing in a pumpkin patch? The next best is the sunflowers I think.

I"m not a fan of the pumpkin fabric. I like the sunflowers the best, but the last one is okay, too.

I agree with sewbizgirl. I think the duck will float best on fabric that does not have a strong theme. I would go for a plain background and add interesting quilting to go with the theme of the duck.

I think that this would look great with trees around it. It would be like a lake in the forest. If not that then the sunflowers. Cute block. BrendaK

I like the fall colours of the pumpkins, but not the print. A duck in a pumpkin patch just doesn't make sense to me. I like the way the colours accentuate the duck, though. I think a print of trees in autumn would be great. (...it's helpful when people suggest fabric you don't have, right?)

Of the ones you have, I'm torn between the colours of the pumpkins, and the appropriateness of the sunflowers. Either would be good. I really like your duck, though! It will be great in any setting.
