That is also very true.. and you can always donate it .. there are many causes that collect tops.

Thanks, burnsk!

I like the fabric and I like the block. I would change out that mottled yellow and black that is used in the 2 corners and in the center and use a fabric that reads like a solid in a gold or yellow. It is a nice fabric but I don't think it would be missed if it was gone from this group of fabrics.
Just my opinion which is worth about 2 cents.

In the pattern where there is small trianges at the top (these were done in the black tone on tone dot) use either the second or third fabric from the right in the bottom row from your last pic - the black and white one. That might help to highlight the fan type design as well as rest the eye.

The trick is to alternate lights and darks. In the first example, all the fabrics read toward the dark side. The second example was better and included some fabric reading light. Going further down this path and including more of the lighter fabrics should be more appealing. In the black and white photo, the 3 fabrics on the left in the bottom row are the ones reading toward the lighter side. The very left one reading slightly toward the medium side. I do like the pattern very much and hope you are able to get it to your liking.

More of a solid blue to pop the blues out of the patterns. Not much just a tad.

Finding all these loose ends in my search for colour advice- how did it turn out in the end?!!!!

Beautiful fabrics, I think your problem is that you are trying to give each pretty fabric center stage, in order to show each fabric off to it's best advantage, I think the blocks would benefit from some solids and perhaps not such a complicated block, something which does not slice up the patterned fabric designs too much. Just my MHO.

I love the pattern.
