    Everything looks great, very fallish, except for the plum circle one.

    I think that they all look wonderful together, but there must be something that you don't like about them, since you're asking opinions, but what really matters is what YOU think of them together, after all, you're the one that's going to be working with them.

    Yes.Depending on what you are doing, you generally need a couple of zingers to make the quilt interesting.

    I also thought replace the plum with a green.

    IMHO I think I'd try and add some green. Light?, dark?, not sure tho.

    You know, I do like these colors together. I think the plum gives it a little punch, and it plays very nicely with the leaf print. The one fabric that I am not too crazy about is the tan fabric--to me, that is the fabric that looks dull, drab, and a bit out of place. If you need another fabric that would replace the tan, then go for a green that matches the leaves. I *love* the light yellow that you have placed beneath the tan. That yellow really works for your light/pale color. Carolyn

    think they look great, only (maybe its the way the camera used the light while you took the pic) but they all look like the same -is the word value or tone? except for the dark, they all look like the same medium, not so much a light/med/ dark (at least to me) sharet
    but, the idea of the colors you picked look not the sameold sameold, they look nice and fresh

    I love this collection. Even though the plum might be considered questionable, it would be that color that makes the color combo sing. I've noticed that most pieces need a "wild card" to make them great. Just my opinion.
