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.

Rose really helps the blocks stand out

The green or the rose speaks to me!

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

the green is real pretty.

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. :-)
