It depends on what the front looks like. If the front is all light colours, I would be concerned of a dark/bright strip showing through on the front. It would probably not be a problem unless it was on display hanging somewhere (quilt show)? I personally like the orange, although they are all pretty.

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.
