The rose rally makes it pop, but, you lose the boxes, so, I would go with the purple to enhance the WOW factor

I think the pink makes more of a statement than either of the others.

I like the strip green and the rose.

The green is too calm for me; I like the rose. What about a shade darker of green? Any excuse to buy more fabric!

The green really makes the colors seem cool and breezy.

I agree. The green makes it calm and gentle. The rose makes it pop!
