    I am having a problem with two pieces. The Blue/green print that is between the nest branch and the birdhouse; and the blue strip down the side of the bouquet block at bottom right. I am thinking of taking them out and replacing them with the tan print. What do you think?

    I like the blue-green myself. I'm not partial to brown except as an accent. But in the end, you are the only one who has to be pleased with it, and everyone's taste is different. It looks great, BTW!! Good job!

    The tan floral does help define the other blocks better. This is going to be one lovely quilt!!

    Both are nice, but I think the blue-green makes it softer and more spring like.

    I think the blue-green is better.

    I vote for the blue! I think the tan is distracting from the applique blocks
