I like all the greens, I would do smaller amounts of the plaid but would include it, to me the top group looks happier, the bottom group is a little tired looking. More mixing it up would do the trick.

I like all your greens and I like the plaid as Dunster said if you scatter them about and maybe add one or 2 more it will pull together and look great. My least favorite is the one on the bottom in the top picture but sprinkled in with the others it works.

imho, If the blocks were made in a more scrappy mixed up style, (speaking of the greens) all the greens work. The placement isn't random enough or symmetrical enough. Maybe each block could be just one of the greens and place each block randomly. It is a cool block and I will watch for other suggestions and what your choice will be.

I do not like the green on the right sde of the right block. Actually I like the plaid! I would try mixing up the blocks/patterns until yopu find arrangement that you like. Actuall I think that I do not like the color of the corner blocks. Do you have a lighter color?

Taping your samples to a Dark Intense pink wall will distort the way you see your blocks. If you will have sashing or a "background" fabric, use that to lay your blocks on, then take a new photograph. I am assuming that all 4 "green frames" will be the SAME on each block. (Not mixed.) I see that the little pink triangles are matching the flower in the center. How many different shades of Pink Triangles will you use? For consistency, you might want to alternate your blocks, putting block with green plaid, then block with little cream flower motif, then plaid, like a great checkerboard square. I LOVE the Plaid. It works well with the flowers. Try working up a few more samples before you choose. Definitely save some of your GREENS for a narrow inner border, or two borders.
