    I like your choices. Where did you get the postage stamp material in the background. That is beautiful.

    I have no idea when or where I got the postage stamp fabric! haha. Joanns, perhaps.

    I like them all except the one on the far right. It seems to be very primary where the others are nice tones, IMHO.
    peace

    I like them all!
    Once you get more of the hexes finished you can play around with placement and see what looks good to you. I'm thinking you could randomize the brights and muted ones for a really nice design.

    I vote to use all the fabrics. I think they look great together!

    In the past I'd say that it's okay to mix everything. But lately I have noted that there is a big movement to keep "clear colors" or bright separate. There are no quilting police--so it's up to you.

    i think it depends how many you are using. if you have plenty of each, i think they will blend. just a couple muted ones, though, will look washed out.

    I think they are all nice but I like the muted ones much more than the bright. If it were me, I would leave the bright one out

    As I was reading I thought my answer would be to keep them separate. After seeing the picture, I've changed my mind. I think they look nice together.
