    Love your fabrics! I would add at least one more in your green/aqua palette to tie those two together. Perhaps a print using both.
    That will be really pretty and happy.

    You just need a print with all these colors to bring this all together.

    Dina Beautiful Quilt. Lee: Love the colors, and I am a newbie, but I would find a fabric that had little blue flowers in it and then add that and some blues???

    I would try shades of brown from cream to a rich, deep brown.

    I would simply use the yellow- orange fabrics with white and I would be making a single Irish Chain quilt. Would probably use the teal as a single 1" border around it followed by a 3" white border. Good luck!

    A good way to tell if there is enough contract is to take a photo of them together and change the photo to sepia or black/white on your computer unless you can do that on your camera. This will show you the contract between the fabrics. Or if you have a piece of tinted plexiglas or glass put it over the fabrics as it will change how you see the colors. I find if I dim the lights just right, I can get a better concept of the contrast or lack there of. I do this when I have my blocks up on the design wall and am wondering if I have them arranged correctly. Can see the lights and darks better this way. Just a suggestion.

    Your quilt is gorgeous, Dina. Looks to me as that might work for her.
