If you can still see my embroidered lady, you'll see these fabrics are all a bit bright to go with her. Brights are good for a kid's quilt, though. They're what quilters call "zingers." I need some mellow yellows, pale pinks, and a light teal in the mix somehow. But hey, I've got a whole quilt to play with, 35 nine-inch squares to blend colors together.

There's green stars, a purple modern fabric Tess picked out, some dragon fabric I've got a close-up of below, orange dots, and the really funky '60s flower power fabric that started my fat quarter hunt at Saline's new Quilting Season store yesterday.
