I am not a big fan of mixing whites and creams in the backgrounds but thats just me!!! Be sure to let us know what you decide!!!

try laying fabrics as if its a large block - pyt your other blocks next to it and put floral next to whichever blocks it will be up against If alternating blocks spread floral fabric out large enough to fold bloick fabrics to look like your square and then place your other squares below. If print fabric is spread out enough you should be able to see it on both sides of your layout which gives you a better idea of how it will look (just a suggestion)
This is a great suggestion and I'm going to try both ideas! The WOW is a bright white - which would be ok with the floral but might be too bright with the stripe.

I also like the idea of printing the fabrics and playing with them that way.
