    I think the selection is fine. However, if you wanted to add any accent, I would choose the olive green that is in the floral material - in very small accent amounts.

    I would, but I would be sure to make it a pastel.

    Go for it! It will be beautiful, and you'll really enjoy making those 3-D pinwheels. Congratulations on the new little one!

    Love these but wouldn't add any more green. Intuitively I'd add a chocolate brown for dramatic contrast and 'pop'.

    I like the selection as is. The green in the picture looks more like a jade green and I cannot picture a lime green added to the lot?

    Hmmmmmm now from seeing the pictures on this page, I am liking the greens. The first picture color of green looked jade to me. Funny how cameras do that.

    I think you've made an excellent choice with what you have there. If I were adding more green, I think I'd try to get some that is close to the olive green that outlines the leaves in your print. It will be gorgeous whatever you decide. Great colour selection.

    I like the green you have it matches the veining in the leaves and that will help bring out the detailing that would go unnoticed without that shade of green. Just my 2 cents worth...LOL

    I love the fabrics you've soon here. I bought the floral in turquiose. Love it. My store had a white with tiny pink dots. If you think you need any thing else in the mix i think that would be really pretty.
