Here's a mockup with different greens. Personally, I love the dark, dark green background, since it seem to make the flowers more vibrant.

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.

The very dark green 'pathways' really brightens the other fabrics.

I think they are lovely. Also those are the authentic colors of Civil War era fabrics and grandmother's flower garden is an authentic pattern for that time and type of fabric. They would look strange if you popped in a bright blue or yellow that was not of that era. Keep going! It is beautiful.

I think they are very pretty. Civil War quilts were not bright colored.

Aren't you glad you decided to do this? It will be a great quilt. May I suggest unbleached muslin for your background? I think the color and slight flecks of brown will add to your quilt and it's so neutral all of your flowers should stand out beautifully. Keep us posted.

keep going so pretty dont change a thing

Oh, my goodness! They turned out beautiful!
