    I like the green. It makes the green pop and the brown takes care of itself

    That was my first thought too. Brown is not the same value as the other fabrics.

    I do think it is beautiful and the fabrics are yummy!

    I think the brown would look awwwwesome..My suggestion would be to perhaps switch out a couple of green for brown.. this way it wouldnt look all lop-sided

    I like the green because it softens the dramatic difference between the brown and the lighter colors. The brown center makes the brown stand out and the lighter colors seem to fade. The brown petals will stand out anyway with the green center because they are so much darker.

    I would mix them up. I LOVE the fabrics in your blocks. This is going to be a beautiful quilt. Please post pictures when you are done.

    I like the brown better, but agree that I would alternate blocks if possible.
