I agree with the general opinion about the plum. It's too drab with the crispness of the others, and too blue. Looks like its light went out. Try something on the red side of purple and with more saturation.

Thanks for this post. I enjoyed reading all the responses. I agree with many others to exclude the plum.

I think the plum plays nicely with the one in the lower right corner of the 2nd picture AND it blends with the pink.

I like them all together.

I think the plum is too blue. The rest are beautiful together.

Our computer monitors really play with our eyes. The comments re colors, Seems there are different opinions as to what the colors really are. If anyone ever gets a monitor that has true color, let me know Drives me nuts when trying to purchase fabric on line, By the way, I like all the colors together.

In the first pic, the plum-looking one seems to pull a shade from the leave fabric, so IMHO they play nicely together.

Otherwise, I too would take it out and add a more subtle green similar to the leafy vine one. Another reason I would take out the plum and use the orange as the bolder is because orange is in the black fabric. And you want to keep that one I would hope. This is going to be a wonderful end result no matter what you are making.

I like what she said. I think I would do it that way too.
