Need help please with fabric

I like the colors you have together at this point so just keep up with shades of darker browns, golds, oranges. What is your plan going forward, to repeat this same block in different shades or will it be like a sampler done with different blocks in similar tones. What are you trying to accomplish? Knowing this we can maybe help you better. IMHO, I really like what you have put together in your first try.

I love your fabric/color choices so far! What are the colors in print? Find a blender or solid that goes well with one of them, and then see if it works well with all of them.
If you have enough of the 3 fabrics in the block, just use that for the quilt. I think if you alternated the squares/rectangles around the white fabric, you'd have a very striking quilt. Or put a white block between each 6 patch. You could also simply sash around each block with the white fabric and that would look great!

Not sure which color you are looking for help. If you have the selvage to that fabric (provided it's not one of the solids), you'll have dots of color on the selvage. This will give you a guide as to what colors were used to make up the patterns/overall design of that fabric and you can use that as a guide as to what will coordinate with it.

I love old-timey calicos! I'd look for similar calico prints in different colors for the smaller blocks. Pull a color out of each one for the rectangular blocks (yellow in your sample) and pull it all together by keeping the brown blocks as sashing throughout.
