I think all but #5 work. I'd eliminate it only because of the metallic threads. Of the others, I, perhaps, like #4 best, think #2 is probably the safest, and really like #3 but not sure it goes as well with the other fabrics.
Big help, huh? Sorry! These are lovely fabrics and I know you'll make the right choice and a beautiful quilt!

Above is a link to the pattern. I don't think I would put #3 in the center. #2 fades too much into the background, and I wouldn't want to introduce the metallic in only one fabric, so I vote for #4. However here's another idea. If you have enough of the original fabric (#1) to use it in the center tumbler blocks, you could use #4 in the outer blocks that call for #1, and that would be a valid design choice.

nme1974--I bought the kit but I want to change the design so that it is not off centered and also want to use a 4.5 inch tumbler instead of the 6 inch one in the pattern. There is just enough of the creme fabric to do it their way. That is why I needed more.
