    #1 because it's an analogous color scheme (they touch on the color wheel) that reflects unity with just enough neutral beige to balance it out and keep it from being boring. The colors are mostly warm (red, orange, yellow, brown and beige) with a splash of cool green to freshen it up yet calm it down.

    #1 & #4 for sure are my favs. #1 is traditional leaf colors, while #4, by adding that little bit of the blue makes everything else pop.

    I like Marcia's suggestion about the purple --she's right, it makes a great addition to fall colors!

    Number 2 catches my eye the most. :)

    Love #3. The blues in the background almost give it a stained glass effect.

    I like #4 I think it has more depth to it.

    #3 and #1 . 1 looks like fall but 3 looks like fall with the fall skies. There is nothing quite like the blue skies in fall.

    I vote for #1--I would use multiple different fabrics for all the leaves--all in fall colors. Of course I do like scrap quilts and have a large stash of scraps.
    In #3, I find the blues distracting. When you actually do the quilt I hope you will share a photo. Its a beautiful pattern.
