I would really like to see you set it together without the backgrounds. I think It would be beautiful. Put it on your design wall (must have), play with the layout and then decide. You don't need to have a lot of difference. See example. Just finished this top to hang over my bed when it's quilted.

No contest. The rose. Everything else looks washed out.

well, here is my 1 cents worth, :) I like the green, tones the pinks down a little. HOWEVER if you like lots of pink and it is going in a pick room, then pink is my next choice. :) happy picking, Really boils down to what you really like, all your colors are very nice.

All good, but each creates a different mood.

I like the rose, blue, green in that order! I'm glad I'm not in your shoes because you've picked some very nice background fabrics and I would have a tough time deciding. :-)
