I pieced a sample block of the first one and am not too sure of the colors. I'll wait to say what I think, so I can get your true opinions. Thanks for helping. :)

Ok - here's what I wasn't too sure of:
From outer edge inward - Row 1 - Green ok. Row 2 Teal ok. Row 3 - lighter teal - ok. Row 4 - lighter green - ?? (This is the same lighter green that is in the center print. Row 5 - (center square) Print of all colors- ok.
I'm purposely using the outer individual colors and then the center square print of all the colors. Symbolizing the bride & groom (individual favorite colors of each person) uniting as a couple (print of all their colors).
I think that from the sounds of it , all in all most of you are ok with the order of the colors. I'm thinking that I'm going to stick with my original choices and go ahead with the project as is. Thanks so much for letting me bounce this off of all of you!

[/quote] On second thought...after looking again. How about using the dark green as your center square and the floral as your outer fabric. That floral is so pretty...maybe seeing more of it would be good.[/quote]
I think this is a good idea. It looks fine the way it is but I think since you are mixing the green and blue it should be more obvious why and surrounding both colors with the print will tie it all together. Pretty fabrics!
