I love your fabric choices also. They are truly wonderful. Thanks for sharing the names and sources.
I keep wanting to move the birds fabric in this 4-some to the far right and see it again that way. LOL. Smiles and hugggggggs

Gosh...so glad you all like them! I had bought the birds and the green to go with the floral on the left...some people told me that the birds don't go with the floral, and I know it needs another fabric, to balance but the ladies at the store kept trying to get me to use black/dark brown. Said it would bring out the black "vines" in the bird fabric and that I needed a dark. I get the theory of having dark, med, and light, but using a black would totally throw off the light whimsical look I am hoping to pull off.
It is still on my table, un-cut waiting for me to find the other pieces that will go with it...feel like I will just know them when I see them...
Thanks all of you for making me not feel like a total loon!

I totally think the birds go into the mix extremely well. They pick up the white and pink of the first floral and if birds don't go with flowers and vines just shoot me now. LOL
For a dark, I would go with the deep rose color that appears in both of the floral fabrics. I would never want to add black to such a pretty airy assortment of fabrics.
If I were going for a 6th color, I'd look for something in a pink and turquoise to pick up those tones out of the 2nd floral and the other 2 prints. The pretty carnation pink, not the deeper tones.
