Opinions please...

How I planned it originally

Hello there!  I was working along on my happy hex table runner when I realized that my blues weren't very blue-y.  Especially when put next to those strong aquas...do you agree?

So I went to the store and bought some new ones and I'll try them out.  But I also bought some reds.  What do you think?  Should I add the reds?  I didn't include them originally because I kind-of have a bubblegummy look going on here, although my reds seem soft somehow...they're not deep dark reds.  But are they too overwhelming?  And do I need more?  I have 6 or 7 of all the other colors...

with the reds

And what about the shape?  I was going to taper it on the ends like you see in the first picture.  But I could also end it kind-of like the aquas (where I stopped working).  I think the tapered look is kind of nice, especially for a long cabinet.  What are your thoughts?

In the meantime, I'm thinking about these...  It was just coincidence that this charm pack ended up on this linen, but they look really good together!  So off I go to sew...
