I like your floral and I loved the original arrowheads with white and these print ones, too, but IMHO neither the colors nor the arrowhead pattern works with the floral. There are lots of good ideas offered above but I think I'd stop trying to match the colors in the floral and use a cream or tan or a pastel version of one of the print colors. An all-over lattice , for example, could showcase the floral.

Still don't like the floral fabric. Why don't you use it fot the backing? Your not getting enough value in you blocks. My mantra that I learned from a world class instructor..." Colour gets all the credit but value does all the work".

I invested in those red and green windows they sell at the quilt shops. When I doubt myself, I look through these.it has improved my colour choices two fold. Just trying to be helpful since you asked.

I'm sorry I don't know how to attach pictures to my replies so I would end starting a new thread, but these arrowhead blocks are made by starting 2 inches down from the top right corner, sew down the side, pivot and sew across the bottom. Turn the block, starting 2 inches down from the opposiste corner, sew down the side and across the bottom. Cut the block on the diagonal thru the sewn corners. Stack the triangles, cut 2 inches from the long side and another 2 inches along the bottom. This will give you presewn pieces that form the block. This is not my method, I don't know the origin of it. I will attempt a tutorial, but I have only very basic computer skills. Tammy

I agree, on my monitor the darker peach of the block does not seem to go with the flowers. The batik seems to be more in the same directions. Much nicer though than the white. Keep going!

I thought the same thing I think the hue might be off.

Like the green block is light and darker green, the peach needs contrast. Maybe a coral and peach?

I agree with snipforfun, the block and floral together are not my favorite, I think the quilt of just the blocks is beautiful., maybe have to put on my to do list.. thanks for the link! JB

IMHO, the green look more modern while the peach looks 'vintage' or 'beachy'. The green is very complimentary to the floral, as well where the peach seems to wash out.

Could you make a few color copies of each block and put them on a design wall to study? Personally I like those blocks better without sashing.
