I think they look warm not dull.

i love those!!! The problem is that the cream color of the muslin is too light - you need something a bit darker - tan/beige....
Definitely audition different fabrics - you'll find the perfect one. |

I recently posted that I had cut out 2000 squares (2.5") of Civil War fabric to make a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt. However, after I cut them out they seemed too dull for that type of pattern. I basted some together and laid them out on top of muslin to see how they look. What do you think? Too dull?[ATTACH=CONFIG]345940[/ATTACH]

I just got "English Paper Piecing" by Vicki Bellino. There is a quilt in there done with similar colors. It has a black outer fabric that has hints of gold in it. The quilt in the book is gorgeous, and yours will be too. I just started one in red, white and blue fabrics for my nephew.

I like what you are doing, keep going, for background fabric maybe a deep chocolate brown?
|
I've never been drawn to those fabrics but it looks like I may have to look at them, again. The flowers are beautiful. Keep going, these may be the only flowers growing this summer!

I think they will look like a Civil War era quilt! However -- if you don't like the fabric you chose and want to resell it -- please let me know!!!
|
I'm not even a civil war fabrics buff, and I think they are beautiful! Keep going, I think you will love the finished quilt.

I agree that the muslin is too light and I would choose a darker path colour. Any of the dark CW fabrics would work as long as the third round is medium to light as they seem to be . Will be jawdropping gorgeous.
