Sorry, I do not like any of them. IMO, they all draw the eye away from the center to the borders. Since you have a lot of primary colors, I would suggest a near solid of one of the primary colors, perhaps red or blue?

I agree with QuiltnNan, none of them speak to me. If you have to pick from one of the four, I'd say the bottom one. Otherwise I'd find something in either the red or orange tones as those are the colors that seem to pop out at me.

This is what I would use--Red.

I've decided to try a border of the white background squiggle fabric and then bind it in the bright red of the little squares. The backing will be the white squiggle. Thank you! I feel so much better now.
