It's all about color--every quilt I've ever seen. Your's just needs more contrast, IMHO. It is still a nice looking quilt. If you want more pizzazz add more contrast.

The blue quilt has a scattered texture that pops throughout, similar to your brights. I'd say, add more sparkle with more brights, and scatter your whites throughout.

It still looks nice. Finish it up and be happy. I like it now without the bright green.

More cohesive since you removed the bright lime green. Perhaps due to the lighting or my eyes, many blocks appear more blue than green.

Hi, I'm with bkay . Just get rid of the neon ones. I actually like the "triangle" ones. The quilt is awesome. I love green. so calming. Quilt that puppy up. You will love it once it's all done and washed and soft and cuddly! Promise......If you don't, send it to me, I promise to love it!
