I'd like it pieced with the two brighter colors and the label made with the softer color.

Or, if you like them all, then use them all. It is you quilt after all.

To my eye the blue does not play off of the print the way the orange and purple do. BTW on my monitor the top looks orange and middle looks purple and the bottom looks very pale blue.

I would use both orange and purple! You could strip piece chinese coins or cut 3" by 6" retangles and lay them out brick style to finish at 2 1/2" x 5 1/2". Two rows laid out the long way would equal your 5" needed.

I am a blue person, but I don't think it works here. The orange goes with the print, but the purple or whatever goes with the flowers in the print. Either of those two would work.

Guess I'll use the red/orange. It was my first choice (guess I shouldn't second guess my self) and since I'm doing the binding in that color it should go well. Thanks for all your input.

Not the blue, but either of the others would look nice.

Either first or second, the blue is to washed out for your quilt. (JIMHO)

What darling fabrics! I love blue but not for this. I think the other 2 are more suited.
