I like the red best. Brings out the red in the print.

I vote for the orange one. It would really pop.

I agree with you I actually think orange jumps out but you do have a lot of orange in the side pieced so I would say mauve to help set off your little bits of mauve flowers.

For me it would depend on where I want the eye to light first. When you look at a quilt, where does your eye go first...to the most "eye-catching" if you will. I like the orange (it shows orange on my computer) but that would take my attention to the center of the back of the quilt first. Does that make sense? Anyway, they are all pretty. Please let us know what you choose. Ultimately, it is your choice. What do YOU like?
