I'm a beginner quilter, and I've done two already, but I cheated and bought fabric packs that were matched already xd

But I want to make one with my own picks!

So... Tell me if these match? (and if this site is good for ordering, like reputable and not going to scam me)

If not, give me some that do match?

This one is my favorite, I want the rest to match this one.

and this one is cute, also, but the pink looks a little lighter?

This for my solid color? it's not too important, this one, it just needs to match the first...

I need more than three fabrics, like five or six, really, but...

I dunno, maybe all that's too pink? Is there another color that would work with this? xd matching is just not my thing.

Do you have a pattern or any idea what the quilt will look like? Also what other colors would you consider putting in it? Or do you want to stay all pinks?

Okay, I got a little bored so I tried to find fabric that matched those pinks you supplied.
These are mostly just pink-

These would give you an opportunity to expand your color choices. To ‘match’ them find colors that are already in the fabric in other fabrics, or just add in solid fabrics that match.

Also to find more 'colors' check out a simple art class color wheel, it will give you an idea of what 'goes' together.

I'm learning to do patchwork and I've noticed that things you expect the least to match usually do.

So, looking at your first set- it's all pink. Theoretically pink will match with pink no matter the shade.

I can't really tell you what other fabrics match because truthfully it's up to you and your style. I would suggest you start out with selecting a color palette, then work from there.

I love this site for when I'm stuck on colors:

And it's probably better to go and look at the fabric in person- there's a lot of complaints about colors not matching online.

Also, etsy sellers have a variety of fabric bundles that can give you ideas.
That website is awesome! I had a coworker who would order from them all the time and the quality was always great. Maybe try adding in another colour or even grey for a bit of contrast and it should be fine.
