    I think a few more saturated colors in the same palette would be lovely - cool and calm, perfect for a bedroom

    I went to the Linda Franz site and clicked on the book with the pattern here
    http://lindafranz.com/shop/lucy-bost...the-crosses/31

    There were 3 colorways the one on the far right was with medium and light fabrics and like ube quilting stated the colors you selected will make a soft and relaxing comfortable quilt. And if that is what you want these will be wonderful and sufficient.

    If you want something more dramatic and with pop as suggested the first two colorways show some options with a dark also. If you do want the effect of a dark I think a dark purple or green would work better than black or brown.

    I like the colors you have selected. I wouldn't add more unless you really want to.

    I think another color would be nice...What about adding a "touch" of yellow?

    Beautiful! I love your colors and think some pops of darker tones will work nicely.

    I love the idea of a log cabin with these color fabrics.

    I think with the white in these fabrics you already have together, you could easily add white. I googled the pattern and saw many of them with the outside white. I think the two colors of greens and lavenders will be gorgeous with a white border. Beautiful pattern and you've put some wonderful fabrics together.
