Okay even before I saw Kassaundra's link I was thinking using some orange (think Harley orange) or fire engine red to add to your colors. I fear the checks, although great, maybe a little too large for the pattern pieces.

It sounds like a guy who is not familiar with the "world of quilting". Just speaking from experience with the guys I know, they may not care for pinks, but they do like brights. I don't want to seem rude, but I think the colors you show are too dull to catch someone's eye in an auction. The mountain peaks pattern is really great and I might try out some deep blues, greens, maybe some white for contrast. It is very generous of you to offer a quilt for the fundraiser!

A friend of mine was just given a picnic quilt. Having not seen it, I will tell you how she described it. Bright, cheerful prints and solids, backed with a waterproof fabric and at the top a handle (fabric) with velcro. She can fold it up and attach a second strip of velcro to carry like a bag. Wish I had a picture.
