    I like the lighter fabric, but I don't care for the sunflowers. I think you need something softer and airy for the butterflies. BTW, the butterflies are beautiful.

    I love green but I think you're getting too many shades. A shopping trip may be in order- LOL. But before you decide, may I suggest a different arrangement? Try swapping positions with the bottom right square and the one above it then take the one that was originally in the bottom right (the blk & wht striped bf) and swap places with the top left block. It may just be the uploaded pic, but it looks a bit heavy w/ orange in the middle the way it is now.

    I really like the green. It matches better with the blocks, IMO

    ditto - I also think the sunflowers are "too much" for the rest of the quilt.
