You have one fabric in the first picture, 5th row over that is a pale background with a green pattern on it that stands out to me as being too spotty for the rest of the fabrics. I think your colors are beautiful.

Your choices are great. Look forward to seeing the finished project.

I would check the yellows as well, Nice selection for your quilt.

Your choices are perfect. Good luck with your quilt.. Its going to be wonderful. I think the beiges would read as yellow.

Beautiful fabrics and colors. I can't see any reason why this would not be spectacular.

Did you buy jelly rolls or did you cut yourself. I have this pattern for the bedrunner and don't know either how to go about the selection. Should I buy different jelly rolls or just select different tones of fabric and cut myself. How did you select???
I love it!!!

Please give me your honest opinions about the fabrics -- does anything 'jump' out as being too bright, too dull, out of place, etc. This is an expensive and time consuming project and I'll appreciate any help I can get!!! Sorry about the second one being a little bit dark, but with the flash the colors were all washed out. Thanks.

I love batiks. "nice job" I think they would all fit.
I am making a dresdan variation out of batiks with a batik as my background (light tans) and fuschia batik as my centers.
Cant wait to see your quilt when it is done.
