Can someone help me with this. And I have two sleeps to get it done...not!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]584200[/ATTACH]I'm trying to finish this Allitaire before the On Ringo Lake Starts. I"m failing at getting the pattern to flow. I think I need to change the purple block corners to something light green and ditch the lavender polka dot.

Don't worry JaneQuilter, it will be fine!
The paint chips are a guide to hue and value, and you can stay close or range fairly far from the cards, keeping in mind that all of your neutrals should be lighter than your lightest aqua and coral, and all your aqua and coral should be lighter than your lightest brown.
The black and white photo helps you to see the actual lightness and darkness of the fabrics, without color to interfere with your perception of value. It looks like your lightest aqua and your lightest corals could be put with your neutrals. The most helpful thing would be to photograph all of your fabrics in the same photo, so a quick value comparison could be made.

I hope to finish this quilt tomorrow before starting "On Ringo Lake". It's "Tuesday Hearts" with Quiltmania (French magazine)

It’s lovely, Eve.
I finished the one that is my avatar and trying to finish my SimplyColorful quilt. Need to put the binding on while the pumpkin pie is baking tonight. The binding is the blue fabric triangles. It’s nap time here for now!

Marcia, don't stress yourself out trying to finish Allietare before Friday! How many of the purple block do you have done? I agree that something that connects to the colors of the other block would work better. Maybe a dark neutral for the lavender and a more subdued orange for the purple.

Auntjo, your fabrics look spot on. It sort of depends on what we start with. If they start and I don't like what I've got, I'll make a mad dash to Lolly's or Yoder's.
