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.

I like all of the greens, if they are done scrappy. I'm not especially fond of the purple and orange (??) I would change that to a light.

Oh, and I really like the greens with your fuchsia wall! ;-).

I like all the greens, I would do smaller amounts of the plaid but would include it, to me the top group looks happier, the bottom group is a little tired looking. More mixing it up would do the trick.

Agree with Dunster. (She's so smart!) :)

I would like that bright limme green that you added as a narrow border or flange. I like that color, buti n small amouunts.

I really, really like the floral focus fabric. Good luck on your decision.

The greens are all fine, but I wouldn't use the plaid. Somehow plaids seem masculine to me and don't seem to go with your floral theme. Love the floral fabric, by the way.

I like all your greens and I like the plaid as Dunster said if you scatter them about and maybe add one or 2 more it will pull together and look great. My least favorite is the one on the bottom in the top picture but sprinkled in with the others it works.

I agree with Ube Quilting. Using the greens in a scrappy arrangement will work. Frame one floral block with one shade of green, another with another, etc. Similarly, the star points are scrappy in lilac, rose, or whatever already. I think the outcome will be very pretty.

I do not like the green on the right sde of the right block. Actually I like the plaid! I would try mixing up the blocks/patterns until yopu find arrangement that you like. Actuall I think that I do not like the color of the corner blocks. Do you have a lighter color?

Taping your samples to a Dark Intense pink wall will distort the way you see your blocks. If you will have sashing or a "background" fabric, use that to lay your blocks on, then take a new photograph. I am assuming that all 4 "green frames" will be the SAME on each block. (Not mixed.) I see that the little pink triangles are matching the flower in the center. How many different shades of Pink Triangles will you use? For consistency, you might want to alternate your blocks, putting block with green plaid, then block with little cream flower motif, then plaid, like a great checkerboard square. I LOVE the Plaid. It works well with the flowers. Try working up a few more samples before you choose. Definitely save some of your GREENS for a narrow inner border, or two borders.

I would use them all, and my favorite is the plaid! I always like what I think of as something curvy (like the flowers) with something straight (like the plaid)

I agree with Dunster and, for me, the plaid adds excitement.

The greens in the top picture work for me, but the other greens do not. The bright, minty green over powers all the other fabrics.

I think the darker ones are best although the one at bottom and left in the left block looks a bit Christmasy.

I agree with UBE quilting. If you are going to use several fabrics, make it many or just one. IMHO you are getting too hung up on will it go or not. More fabrics is the answer or one fabric. If you can't see it from the back of a galloping horse, it's good. I used to be very controlling about my quilts and am not any longer. I use many, many fabrics and my quilts are raved over and I've been complimented, so it's not just me that likes them. Since you are using one fabric for the blocks it will have a unifying effect while using your greens and you would be surprised how well greens go together and with that lovely main fabric it will be a hit. I'd go to my fav lqs and buy fat quarters and small cuts and mix it up.
I've made several scrappy green and neutral quilts and many greens go well together - they do in nature, right?

Leaves have lots of shades and values in the greens. I think more is better and to spread them around generously. I think that when you lay out more of your floral blocks with a variety of greens your quilt will be spectacular. I really like that plaid in there. Right now I am on a polka dot kick so how about adding a few dots? I really like what you are doing because it is refreshing.

Nature says 'GREEN goes with everything. I do like symmetry. All of your greens look good but value is your choice for placement.

I love the plaid! I like the blue-green greens a lot, the yellow-green not so much. The blue-greens lend contrast and excitement, IMO. The yellow-green blend too much into the floral.

Like others, I think either one green (the one on the left, not the plaid) or lots of greens. Right now you don't have enough variety in the greens to make it seem scrappy. I'd buy a bunch more 1/4 yard greens and mix them in....using only blue-greens, though.

I think another reason the yellow-green in the right hand block doesn't work is because it's scale is too similar to the scale of the brown print. The other greens work better because their scale is in contract to the brown print.

The yellow-green print could work if you put it with the darker rose instead of the lighter rose. Right now the yellow-green print blends too much into the light rose, and doesn't set off the pretty floral center.

I kind of like the idea of using that big piece of green that you added last as a border. Probably a thin border, and then add something else for a second thicker border.

Lovely quilt! Have fun choosing!

I hate to tell you, but I think you just don't have any green that's right for that those blocks. I think you need a darker green, maybe a solid or a green on green that reads solid. I love the block and think a dark green will make it leap out of the quilt. froggyintexas

I'm with froggy. A darker, more solid lilke green may do the trick.

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 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.
