First, I love the plaid with the floral.
Second, I like the feel of the big piece of green. While it does not match any green in the block, to me it feels and looks right.
Third, I like your other greens except for the minty one.
Can't wait to see how it all plays out for you!

I'm a slave to symmetry. I'd put the plaids in the first block opposite each other and the flowers opposit each other. In the second I'd replace the mint green with anothe chartruse/grass green and keep matching blocks opposite each other

Okay I am th minority here but I like the plaid. It gives the quilt an urban chic look that I really like if your making this a scrappy quilt and you spread them all around i think they could all work.
