I definitely like the purple/mauve - does not stand out so much and ties things in nicely. Red/orange acceptable but I do not like the blue. Have fun!!!

I like the purple, as there is less of it in the print - it brings it out.
Nice!

I agree, I don't think the blue has enough contrast. I would use orange and purple.

Not blue - other colors are good. My taste runs to Mauve or Purple - whichever color is right (LOL).

since it is the back...why not piece 5" squares of all the fabrics to run between the two pieces...would ad some fun and give the quilt an alternate "right side".

I agree with this.

I agree, either the orange or the purple. The blue is just there and doesn't add anything. It's pretty, but it gets lost.

I don't think the bottom color works well. The orange is bright like a sunny day and I love bright colors. The purple/lavender is a beautiful color, and it blends well with your flower basket.
I vote for either orange or purple
