First, I love the plaid with the floral.
Second, I like the feel of the big piece of green. While it does not match any green in the block, to me it feels and looks right.
Third, I like your other greens except for the minty one.

Can't wait to see how it all plays out for you!

I'm a slave to symmetry. I'd put the plaids in the first block opposite each other and the flowers opposit each other. In the second I'd replace the mint green with anothe chartruse/grass green and keep matching blocks opposite each other
I agree. A more yellow-green is needed.

Look at your flower blocks - how many greens do you see in them? Many - all greens in nature are different, go for it.

Okay I am th minority here but I like the plaid. It gives the quilt an urban chic look that I really like if your making this a scrappy quilt and you spread them all around i think they could all work.

I agree. My mild-ish OCD wouldn't tolerate the unsymmetrical placing of the greens. But opposite each other, I think they all work. Nice colors!

Jinny Beyer suggests to not use fabric that exactly matches those in your focus fabric. Choose values of those colors that are either lighter or darker for the best impact.

I like the charturse (sp??) better than the mint, as long as it's not to bright. Looks good with the almost neon pink in hte center

Thank you, thank you. I sort of felt foolish after posting about the symmetry. Good to see I'm not alone.

Is there a reason you are only considering strong green with strong pink, and pale green with pale pink? I'd like to see pale green with strong pink.
