    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.
    I think this is a very good suggestion. Otherwise, I'd use only the orange. To me the purple provides too much contrast.

    It is difficult to choose without seeing the top. I do like the orange a lot.

    I like the purple (middle) best, but the orange (top) is a very close 2nd. I wouldn't use the pale blue (bottom).
