Could you put the blue check on the top half, sky like; and the sunflower on the bottom half, meadow/pond like? I'm thinking I would like the looks of that.

The middle fabric!

Do you have more of the brown that you used in the duck? If so, how about trying it on the bottom half (like the banks of a pond), and a pale blue up top? Not sure the florals are right, but the blue check works.

LOL I was thinking the same but then a duck might be served around thanksgiving along with something pumpkin.

I think the pumpkin material sets off the duck block the best. If you were making a naturalistic piece the pumpkins would be incongruous but in this context they're just another pattern.

I like the neutral color as a background idea. But how about a tiny border around the duck block in a very dark - - almost any fall color. Love your duck.

Sunflowers

I would make a binding out of the scraps from the wall hanging and make the hanging on point I think that's called piano keys. Or bind it in the aqua. You did such a good job on the duck - the other fabrics may distract from that.
