Need an opinion on colors

Do any of these greens look right? Or perhaps a combination of 2 or 3 of them? Are any of these greens definitely the wrong???

I like them all except the one at the bottom. It's too minty in my opinion.

The mint green on the right of the 2nd block matches the leaves in the floral print--------------but nothing else.

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

imho, If the blocks were made in a more scrappy mixed up style, (speaking of the greens) all the greens work. The placement isn't random enough or symmetrical enough. Maybe each block could be just one of the greens and place each block randomly. It is a cool block and I will watch for other suggestions and what your choice will be.
peace

Should have explained.....these aren't sewed together....I just stuck the greens in anywhere to try and choose which one looked best. I would definitely arrange the greens better once I finally decide which one(s) to use.

I like the shades of green in the plaid but I don't think the plaid goes with the floral.

All greens go together in nature. If you use enough, and sprinkle them around, they will look great.

I don't like the plaid either. Once you mix them all in scrappy-style, the other ones will look great. Love the floral and can't wait to see how the quilt turns out

Again, I've just got it stuck up there randomly to try to pick a color, but is the big strip of green on the right any better? Just found this piece of fabric.

I like the one in the upper left. The new green strip on the right doesn't match any of the greens in the floral. I agree the plaid is too busy with the floral. The greens on the bottom are OK, but I think the value is too bright and close to the value of the pink to look good. More contrast would be better. But in that light, the value of the upper left one is too close to the darker pink on that floral frame. Tough decision! Maybe swapping those out would look better - lighter green with the darker pink, darker green next to the light pink.
