    A little bland. Definitely don't like the brown.

    I think I would rather see the blue instead of the purple or brown. It would seem to go with the circle fabric better and tie all of them together.

    janie ... it is YOUR quilt. If you like these quarters together, trust your self. That is really all that matters! That said ... if you make up the quilt with these and you give it to me, I will love it!

    THey sure do not go together on my monitor.I would pick one that has the most colors in it and use it as your focus fabric and check the edge of that fabric for the color dots and see if the fabrics you displayed match those dots .If they do you are good to go if not add to them.

    I would use these together. I like them. Someone told me once I have a knack for putting toether colors that you wouldn't think to use together and making them work, so maybe it's me? I just know I would use them!

    I am also doing the craftsy BOM....Here is my input. While all the fabrics you have are very pretty they all basically read as medium value. You need to add some darks and lights. The two bottom fabrics do look to be a medium light and a medium dark but the rest all read as medium value. I like the chocolate and green, maybe if you added a dark chocolate and a cream to the mix you would have better options for contrast. The pink is a nice addition but you have two medium pinks....the one on the right is more interesting to me but I would pick one and put the other back. Grab a bunch of fabrics and lay them out over lapping, step back and squint at them, or if you have a camera with a view finder look at them through that. Sometimes I take a picture with my digital camera and in photo editing make it black and white....you can see value so much better in grey scale. Remember you are going to see this fabric mostly a few inches from your nose as you sew it, but mostly, when finished, it will be seen from many feet away. Value, more even than color, can make or break a quilt.

    Is that brown or purple in the bottom right? Anyway, I think it looks good with the pinks but not the greens. I think I would use a lighter purple to match the flowers in the green print.

    I like all the colors, I think the yellow and brown adds pop to the mixture.
