I like it. I agree with Charlee, I think maybe it is too much green also. The last green is what I think throws it off.

Keep going. I think it looks great just as it is. I love the fall colors.

I like it too. Put some very plain, dark green to frame the blocks if you think the 'camouflage' effect is too much. However, I would like it on my bed just as is.

I love it. To me it says fall, fall, fall. My mts. and woods here are colored in the lighter tones and will become more rich as the season prgresses and the cold weather moves in. Lots of green still mixed with the golds, browns, reds, oranges, etc. Love it.

I live in the Berkshires in Massachusetts. Our fall colors are spectacular this year, and very much like the colors you have chosen EXCEPT for the very bright center squares. Perhaps try something with a red/burgundy or even a more earthy brown?

I think what you have is beautiful but if you want it to go more fall-like maybe use more rust and gold and less green. Even if you leave it as you have it when you dress it up with fall accessories on your table you will probably be surprised by how fall-like it looks. Have fun with it and post the final result.

I really like the color arrangement you've shown here and think it goes well with the pattern (Thinking Outside the Block). Golds to red and rust to dark shades of green.
