I tryed to put this in the topic about it but can not figure out how to do it so I am doing it this way. This is the materials I found in my stash for the quilt. I would like your opinion and would purchase some new if anyone had suggestions as to what would look better. I am very challenged in this area.

First question is how many fabrics do you need for the mystery quilt? then I would take out the dusty pink print and replace is with a deeper blue marble fabric. I think the rest will be fine because anytime I have done a mystery, contrast it the big thing in chosing fabric. It take contrasting colors to have the design show up the way it should.

You need a total of 9 fabrics, including your focus. In addition to the deeper blue that maryb suggested, I think a light pink, a white tone on tone, and a black would round out these colors beautifully.
