looks great together to meeeee.

I've always thought that there's a reason for mutes and brights and never thought they go together. It's just when you put the 2 together the mutes make the quilt look stained or soiled in some areas like coffee or tea may have spilled. love all of it, just not together.

They look great to me.

I think that if you have an equal balance of muted to bright it looks purposeful and good. It would look better to me with more prints from different lines of fabrics with slightly different hues, like it is a controlled color scrappy. I made a red, white, and blue quilt with at least 50 different fabrics quite a few years ago. It has dull to bright blues and reds. I used whites and off-white backgrounds in the prints. It is my bed quilt and is almost threadbare in places because it has been used and washed so much. If I were to remake it today, I would add even more variety in the lights using recycled men's shirts because I love plaids so much.

Another option is to dip, and I mean 'quick dip,' your bright fabrics in a strong tea solution to 'antique' them. That's worked for me several times.
Make it and if you do not like the brights popping tea dye it. It will give it a primitive look and feel. I like that. Now if you do not like that be sure not to put the dull ones in. |

i think it depends how many you are using. if you have plenty of each, i think they will blend. just a couple muted ones, though, will look washed out.

Looks good to me except for the blue striped, it kinda looks dirty with the other fabrics.
|
I think that it looks better to mix the bright and the dull. I would just make sure that both are sprinkled evenly around, you don't want to end up with a duller half and a brighter half.

I think they look fine. If you like it, of course, that's what matters most.

They look GREAT together.
