I like the red ,but not the blue for sure

Vat 04-20-2011 03:57 AM

I would use a mix of orange and purple. Maybe 5" squares of each.

MerryQuilter 04-20-2011 03:58 AM

Love the brights orange would be first pick fun fabric.

uniquelynancy 04-20-2011 04:06 AM

I would make a pieced strip using all of them.

Buckeye Rose 04-20-2011 04:07 AM

the orangeish one.....

be a quilter 04-20-2011 04:08 AM

Reddish orange or purple.

kohenry 04-20-2011 04:08 AM

Orange . . . I love bright colors! Great material.

piepatch 04-20-2011 04:09 AM

I love the purple, but I think the red/orange actually blends better with the backing fabric.

mjsylvstr 04-20-2011 04:10 AM

I like either the lavender or the orange......personally, the lavender is my first choice.

It would pick up the flowers but not overdo......

newquilter10 04-20-2011 04:20 AM

The orange looks best to me.

Scakes 04-20-2011 04:36 AM

I don't especially care for the light blue. The other 2 look really nice. :lol:

I like the first 2 colors, but why not use two or even all three colors? I love to piece the backs of my quilts, it adds interest no matter which side is viewed, and some of them end up truly two-sided! Here are three simple ones...they're really not wonky, I'm still trying to train my DH on how to hold them (HA!! Wish me lots o' luck!!)

purple or orange

craftysewing 04-20-2011 05:15 AM

Pick the color that you like best! Any of the three would be just fine, but the mauve/purple does bring out the flowers .. so does the orange. Good luck with it!

Linda Loo 04-20-2011 05:28 AM

One more vote for the two darker fabrics! :thumbup:

mrsmail 04-20-2011 05:29 AM

Red/Orange or the purple.

JudyN 04-20-2011 05:33 AM

I like the purple

brightstar_202 04-20-2011 05:34 AM

the first 2 colors pop the material not the blue at all

Big Red 04-20-2011 05:51 AM

I like redish orange, purple binding maybe. ;)

lillybeck 04-20-2011 05:51 AM

The middle one makes it pop for me.

wisconsin 04-20-2011 06:05 AM

Purple for me

dunster 04-20-2011 06:05 AM

I would probably use a strip made up of all 3 colors alternating in no particular pattern, with maybe bits of the print thrown in.

grandjan 04-20-2011 06:08 AM

I kind of like the contrast of the orange.

dltaylor 04-20-2011 06:14 AM

RED!!

Ethel Hoffman 04-20-2011 06:14 AM

I agree the mauve brings out the good color in your fabric

sblancarte 04-20-2011 06:25 AM

What about using both the orange and purple? 2.5" strips. they really complement one another and would pop.

I like the redish/orange.

Ziva 04-20-2011 06:31 AM

Not the blue..

Stitchit123 04-20-2011 06:50 AM

I think the orange one -it brings out the flower pots -the little shed roofs and it seems to play better with the off-white back ground

Susie Quilter 04-20-2011 06:52 AM

My pick would be the orange. Goes great together.

crazyquilter56 04-20-2011 07:01 AM

I like the orange and purple. Maybe try green or yellow with it instead of the blue....

IBQUILTIN 04-20-2011 07:03 AM

I agree that the purple brings out the flowers

doris.meek13088 04-20-2011 07:04 AM

I like the purple best. I don't know what is on the front but if it works with the front I think this color would also make a great binding.

matraina 04-20-2011 07:08 AM

Blue is my favorite color; but here I must say the orange gives it more zip!

VaNella 04-20-2011 07:13 AM

I like the orange, but I am a prejudiced orange fan.

That gets my vote too.

Pat G 04-20-2011 07:30 AM

The orange works best with all of the orange in the prime fabric is my opinion.

lbc 04-20-2011 07:32 AM

Purple or orange. The blue does not do it justice.

Cosy 04-20-2011 07:33 AM

I like the purple, but the idea of using both the darker colors is interesting, too.
