    I'm going to use the floral and dark pink for borders and backing, and the other fabrics for the pinwheels. Do you think I should add some green to this? My only concern is the green that goes with this collection is a lot more vibrant than the green in the leaves and vines of the floral.

    Or do you think it's fine alone with just the fabrics shown?
    Beautiful selection of fabrics and definately keep the green. I wished our Walmart would start to sell fabric here once again.

    Please, show us the other green or we have no basis for opinions.
    I like to use a darker color in my borders, even if its only 1/2" on an inner border...

    I would definitly have a one of the borders be green even if it is just a narrow border. Otherwise it will be a very pink project.

    I love your fabrics. I would add the green that borders on lime green. I think it would add a fun pop of color and since it is part of the collection, I'd trust that it will look great when finished.

    Very nice fabric choices, I think the green should be added, its a pretty soft color but would add a lot.

    I think the fabrics in the photo go beautifully together.

    I wouldn't add the green. I would keep it the pastels. It will be beautiful when your done.
