Fabric arrived ... uh oh!
 

Here is my original post with the pictures of my options - it's a storm at sea and snail trail combo

I really don't like the green with this at all .. so should I order dark blue? LOL ... I thought the green would be a nice compliment, but I'm wrong!

I would go with a dark blue. I'm matchy matchy to a fault, so even though the green is nice, it doesn't pick up the colors well in your other piece.

and now, the more i look at it, I don't even know if these will be good fabrics for what I want LOL

It’s a big undertaking, so it’s best to be sure about the fabrics!

I only have about a 50% chance of getting the colors right when I order online. All my rejects get saved for another project. The green will be good for something in the future, but it doesn't really go with the blue.

I think I would use a dark blue. I'm a lot like ekuw...I like things to really match. I think it goes way back to my Home Ec days in the late 50's. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/wink.png

The problem with the green is it has tom much of an olive tone to it for a "lime" fabric. A dark blue may work better. It is hard to order fabrics on line. One monitor see things one way and another very different. I would hold onto that green. It might work well with a softer orange too.

I would use a dark blue. Can I also suggest that you might want to choose a fabric that has a different pattern? All three of the current fabrics have very similar patterns and it might be more interesting if you choose something a little different.

I would look for the light blue color to add a new element.

You won't know for sure until you make a block. I would suggest you cut enough to make one or two blocks - then decide. I was making an Double Irish Chain and it took me two changes for me to get what I wanted, And when I was about 3/4's done I realized it was the white that was wrong too - should have gone with a white on white - wasn't about to take it apart at that point.
