There are no right or wrong answers but it really helped to get other opinions besides mine!

As others already said lay a strip of each color like a rose not red rose and se which one works for you or take a photo for all of us and with the strip there we could probably give you a better answer

I still haven't given up on the striped rose, it is in the same Barefoot Roses Collection so it sure won't clash..now I have to wait until I receive it..

That is so beautiful, I have been wanting to do one of those with all my scrap pieces, but after seeing yours, I just can't wait to get starting, I think white would look the best.

I like the idea of blue

Go dark! Burgundy, Forest Green, or Navy. It will make your other colors pop.

I'm with dunster I'd lay a few blocks out on different color backgrounds. Personally I'd go with the blue, but the white might bring everything together better.

I love your blocks they are really beautiful, I have read the suggestions on the strips, I would try the white with the blue flowers on it on one of your strips. Like some others have said just lay out your blocks and try different colors that you have in your stirps and see which one you like the best. Most any one of the colores in you stips would work great. Just my opion. Please post a picture when you are finished putting it to gether.

My thoughts would be to the green in the floral print or the pink or blue in the blocks. Same shade, no lighter or darker...good luck! It is best to lay them out to make the choice.
