She wasn't sure flowers would be good for a boy, either, which limits my green fabrics (since I'm trying to use what I have). But I like your idea of putting the colors together and will give it a try.

It's interesting to read other people's opinions. <br /><br />I just went back to look at the photos again and I think the green blocks together are positively boring. I may just need to change the layout of the mixed colors, or maybe substitute a few other blocks. I'll figure it out soon, I hope.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.

And maybe play with the arrangement and/or lay the blocks out on a piece of green fabric to help imagine a border and see what I think.

Maybe the sets of colors could go around each other: ie reds in the center, surrounded by blues, then greens then yellows. Just for example.
