These are the browns I got from Thousands of Bolts. I had browns but I needed more of the darker ones. These are ok... I will use them even if I don't love them. Sorry the pic is so shadowy. I was trying to take the pic in the natural light by the window. The two on the left side look greenish but they aren't really green.

Jan, the pinks you are seeing in my brown on the far right are actually deep burgundy! So hard to get colors right in pictures. But there were lots of pinks in civil war era fabrics. They called them "double pinks" if they were pink on pink.

The fabrics you describe are what I call "tonals" or "blenders". TOT is right, too.

Here is my #12 Aztec Star.

That makes three, brown, gold, red and blue ones. My green fabric order is due tomorrow. If they look decent, the next three block will feature greens. Actually, I guess I will need to make one more of each color to get to 20 blocks and have the colors balanced. Playing with these is such fun! I think this #12 block is my favorite so far.
