Do these fabrics work together?

I want to donate a block or two to Quilting for Boston. They've asked for blocks using blue, yellow, grey and white and this is what I have available. I don't trust my eye -- do these fabrics work? I was thinking of something similar to a log cabin block (adjusted because I don't have that many different fabrics) I was thinking the yellow in the middle with the greys and blues surrounding.

I think it would be pretty... please post as well!

I think it would be perfect! I'm with Girliegirl--PLEASE post the block too!

yellow in the center and creams on one side and blues on the other.. what size block do you have to make?
You might need more fabrics

It needs to be 12 inches tall; can be any width but probably I will make it square. I'm now thinking of a zig-zag block.

If you have a dark brown I'd add that to the mix for more contrast.

I think what you have is beautiful and will look perfect together.

I think that those colours work well together. I wonder which block you will be making? Please post when done! Thank you. :)

Please expound on the parameters of this Blocks for Boston project: besides the four colors requested and the block size (12"?), what else == when to have them sent in and where to send them?

Blocks are to be sent in by May 24, I believe. More information is here:

Here is my finished block. I can't decide whether to send it -- it was my first attempt at half-square triangles and even though I'm certain I measured correctly, the square came up short. I had to add a border and I think maybe it renders the entire block too sloppy to submit. I'd appreciate any opinions.
