    Love the green. It all deepens on the result you are looking for. If you want a fresher, spicy quilt add a dark blue in the same tones as the blues you have and keep the green. If you are after a traditional quilt tone down the green. This has been a great thread thank you.

    I love the fabrics...each is lovely on their own, but together....I know....kinda blah. I'm still looking for that "POP"
    Thanks for your help,
