    okay I will check out other material but I am still drawn toward M'Liss. Should I stay with all blenders or should I throw something else in there. Solids or maybe something wild?

    Try converting your photo of the fabrics to black and white (or gray scale) so that you can "see" how they flow before you decide. I would think you need more blues but the tones need to be right probably in mid scale.

    yes I was going to put the same amount of each color in the quilt. This is only 7 colors so far.
