WIP Perpendicular Ovals - Fabric/Colour

This is the bit I suck at - picking the fabrics/colours.
I don't know why I'm so bad at this part, if I knew I would fix it! but this is the part that give me the most trouble... but until you do this bit you can't do the other bits so I go online and look all over the place (blogs, pinterest, instagram, flickr, random google image searches) until I see something that sparks my interest. What did it for me was the yellows and greys that I was seeing, they looked so bright, fresh, modern and all round awesome - BOOM job done! 

Until.... I asked my friend if she hated any colours in particular or if she had a colour scheme in mind.
I should have kept my mouth shut. Oh why didn't I keep my mouth shut? I knew she didn't hate yellow, we've been friends since we where 14 for gods sake - why did I ask?! 
But no, I opened that can of worms and she said... earthy tones - which to me means browns - there goes my bright quilt! (in hindsight I should have asked before I brought enough yellow fabric to sink a battleship).

Some frantic online shopping and one stash raid later....
