If you need an extra fabric, I would add in the middle gray flowers in the bottom photo.

the orange looks like the focus fab. the rest looks very good

I would ditch the orange pin dots, not for me in a modern quilt. Add the three fabrics on the bottom right and the mid size gray floral, not the large one. The orange in the second picture will work better in your modern quilt. Solids are always good in a modern. If you have any steely blue gray that would also. Have fun, don't stress and enjoy the process.

You have a very good eye for combining fabrics and you are spot on about the fabrics in the second photo being too juvenile in comparison. the lineup in your first photo is terrific, except for that pindot orange - it is too bright and intense. Perhaps a more earthy orange would do the trick. I really love the floral that introduced the orange.

I say skip the oranges and in the second pic use the wavy fabric and the two others it is sitting on. They are not too juvenile. I would introduce black and white before the orange. Just my opinion.
|
I would take out the orange pin-dot and the floral next to it and then add all the fabrics in bottom pic.
|
I am partial to the fabrics in the second photo and agree that a little black would help it all pop.

However I like the yellow with the raindrops on the bottom far right with the top fabrics and it has a little orange in it so would use it before either of the brighter oranges. I also like the center one in the bottom photo-the grey background with modern flowers---and think they would also be a great filler with the top fabrics. It will be beautiful. Oh I also agree with some black--it always adds drama to a quilt.

Then I would put a very small black border in to repeat the black. It looks to me on my computer that you could use3 or 4 of the bottom pieces too. Just my opinion.

I like the orange colors. In my opinion you did well putting those fsbrics together. Both would make visually fun quilts. Of course, i love orange
