Agreed! I don't see enough of the red within the quilt.

Too many pretty fabrics

I truly understand you problem. I have to say I'd go for the brown and red on the right.

I would not use the floral. I would save that for another project where it can be the prominent fabric in like some kind of block pattern like a cross and chain, or maybe a basket type block.

So many choices, so many decisions, so little time. LOL Please post a picture after you make your decision for all of us to see the colors you went with.

IMHO I would use the narrow camel, followed by the large burgundy floral and bind in the narrow camel. I think the burgundy makes the quilt pop. The camels blend in. I believe I would leave the green out.
