I'm not very good at picking fabrics that work well together but these all carry at least one coordinating color from the floral print. Any advice? Thanks.

too busy and eyes are moving everywhere
show me the quilt you want to makeI think the floral and stripe do not go together
too much movement in the fabricsa for me
you need to think of scale, value and pick one fabric to be your focal fabric
love the block

I think I agree with Mosquitosewgirl; try switching your materials. If you sew them together like this, without sashing, you'll end up with large 4-squares of dark material at each corner and the light material in the middle may get overlooked. I personally like block #3 best without the stripes. Try cutting out one block with your floral in the squares and the darker in the center triangles. My eyes are drawn right to the dark squares, and I'm not sure if that's the effect you want; I'm not familiar with this quilt either, so it's hard to judge from a single patch.

Thank you everyone for your honest feedback. The more I look at it the more I also seem to like the idea of using a sashing and doing block number 3. I think the stripe fabric is what is bothering me about this block. Think I will save that for another project. Maybe something in a assorted pallet of browns. I will post picture when I get further into it.
