The brown doesn't work for me. The other colors look like yellow and peach to me (could just be my monitor) however those are both warm colors. Perhaps think about adding a cool color like green or blue, be sure to make it a more intense shade to make the others pop.

color values
You need three values. Light, medium and dark. Change light brown to a dark brown, then it should work
|
I think they go together, but they are all medium value. It needs a really dark dark to add some spice, then you will have something.
|
I like all the fabric but think you need at least one or two additional that will add some contrast -- perhaps a lively print with a darker background or even an almost white that will add some sparkle.
|
I don't like the 2 greens together. I'd use one or the other. Are you adding a cream for the background?
|
Personally, if my monitor is showing the colors as they truly are, I would trade the solid rose for a blue print (like the blue in the adjacent piece) and remove the brown altogether. Maybe a cream tone-on-tone as the background color.
|
SEE everyone has a different opion but the only one that matters is yours if you like it use it. what i see on the web now days it doesn't matter much i see all kinds of combos and most of them look good. i often have problems getting in enough variety

I am doing the block of the month on Craftsy. Do these fabrics look good together? Please be honest, they weren't expensive and I can put them in my stash if they don't. Also do you have other suggestions of what other fabrics and prints would look good

everyone is seeing the color their monitor shows....i have some of that 4th (first in second row with tone on tone leaf) fabric and holding it to the screen....not the same color at all !!!!!!!!!
|
Yes, I think they go together, but it will be a very ...what do you call it......not so bland, just a soft colored quilt.
|
I love the fabrics together. And, you could even add a blue and it will pull out the blue in your flowers.
|
I am using the Kona Snow/white..and a bright floral for contrast..I find it hard to group so many colors together unless it is a scrap quilt..JMHO..I like all of your fabric but just not together..
|
The question to ask is "Do I like them?"
(I'm doing the same BOM. Looks like fun!) |

The colors go together. :)
|
These are all medium values. You need some darks and some lights. Add in a blue or purple to go with that floral print.
|
The colors go together well,but I would want a darker color in there too--otherwise they are likely to fade into each other in a block.
|
I can't tell too much from the picture. But, if they look good to you, and you like them, then that is all that matters.
|
The pinkish color with green dots, the dark grrn dots are the wrong color of green. it may clash with the other lighter green material.
|
My suggestion is to find a print that you love and pull the colors out of it for the accents and neturals.
|
I think it needs a zip somewhere in there. To me it's too bland. Just saying ----
|
Since you ask ....you don't have enough contrast. Do you have the red or green view finders you can buy at a quilt shop? Look through those and you will see what some of us are talking about. Remember "color gets all the credit, but value does all the work".
|
I think they look nice together. I will be looking forward to seeing your finished block.
|
I agree. Maybe not the same "mood".

|
they look like they do..
|
I think you need a purple or blue.
|
If you can place all the fabrics together and walk back about 10 to 15 ' you will see if they will go together. If there is a fabric that does not go, it will stand out.
|
Yes, they go together, but they are all the same tone. How about adding a bright or dark or two. Will give any pattern more life.
