Do these match or clash?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I want to make a table running using patriotic fabrics and English paper piecing. Some fabric is more "muted"/Americana looking and some is brighter and more vibrant colors. Can I mix them or would that make the muted look dull? Not sure if this pic will show you what I'm talking about or not.

I think they look great together.

I love the postage stamp fabric

I am no expert, but I think they look good together.

I would keep the muted ones separate from the brighter ones -
but that's just my preference.

I like the three hexagons that you have together -

I think the muted ones look washed out and 'old/used' with the brighter prints.

I think the muted ones tone down the brightness. If you like that then keep them in. If you want to keep the brightness level high then do as bear suggested, and take them out.

My first quilt had this "problem" of bright and dull fabrics, and I didn't finish it for years because of that. When I finally finished it, I loved it! http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t174293.html

Yup - looks good to me! I would go with it!

I think the little bit of bright white will add sparkle to the rest of the quilt. I vote for keeping all the fabrics in.
