    Another vote for the middle one.

    I agree with Jennifer. The colors of the pumpkin fabric really highlight the duck block but the pumpkins aren't right. In my opinion, neither of the other two choices work as well color wise, but their subject matter is better. I'd look for something else.

    Thanks for all your suggestions! I agree with you, a tree fabric would be perfect, but unfortunately I don't have anything that will work...*sigh*.
    Do you think a homespun red checked fabric would work? Kind of make it country looking? Just another idea.

    I like the blue third one. Nice duck!

    I like the sunflowers. The green and yellow pick up the green and yellow in the duck and all the other tones balance nicely. I think the blue check sort of disappears and the pumpkins don't really say 'I'm with a duck'. BTW - nice looking duck!

    Ooh, the homespun red check sounds like a definite possibility! I would like to see that.

    If you want to use it up, then the sunflowers. I would probably choose (from my stash) something that doesn't compete with the center block, like a tone on tone or a sort of woodsy type fabric.

    I agree with BJ. I would choose a muted tone on tone in a neutral color, especially since this is to be a wall hanging. I really like all of your printed fabrics but they do not frame the duck block, they distract. Really like the duck block too.

    Of the three shown, I like the sunflowers the best. But I like Jennifer23's (post #20) suggestion of the fall trees.
