Chasezzz your fabrics are delicious, just beautiful together.
Coopah Love all those fabrics, but if it was me making a top with those fabrics, I would use the top light -- seems to have more interest that the bottom light, or are they the same fabrics? I'd use the lighter of the blues, and either dark, whichever you like the most. I think you are fine with 35" because I always allow a few inches extra, but don't be wasteful when cutting. LOL
