I'd go with the stripes. If you think that making every patch with stripes may be too much, substitute another fabric here and there.

I like the stripe. Beautiful fabrac.

I'm not experienced in this but will the stripe look good in a 4P? Doesn't 'sound' good to me but I don't know that I've ever seen a quilt that had one.

But the stripe does look great with the colors and would look fabulous with the print. Can you use it as a narrow border before the floral?

Take the risk! I love the colors; they work well together.

Love the little stripe - it puts some WOW in the quilt. But I also love the purple - perhaps you could use both, using either the purple, or the stripe (if you have enough) for a small inner border between the blocks & the floral.

Be sure to post pics of your final decision.

Have a blessed day

I like the stripe!

I would get rid of the plain blue and go with the stripe - but then I like bold and unusual, and dislike pastels.

I would use it for a small border.

Stripes forever. I always try to place a geometic fabric somewhere in a grouping.

I love a stripe for an inner border, and this one would really tie everything together. 2" strips would finish at 1-1/2", and add just enough pop! Or maybe you want to sprinkle it in the four-patches every once in a while. I say it's too perfect not to include somewhere! Have fun!
