    Since the floral is your favorite, I would use it for the focus fabric (4 outer corners that stay the original size). Then I would use the the red or the orange for the center fabric (to be cut into smaller squares). For the 'arms' (middle fabric on each side to be cut in half lengthwise) I would pick the aqua. This will give you good color balance as well as go nicely together.

    Let us see pictures when you get it all together! Will be gorgeous!

    I like the orange and blue or red and blue, guess my tastes are different than everyone else's! I also have trouble putting together fabrics for a quilt and always ask for suggestions from my quilting group.

    I agree with CajunQuilter - the first four from the left would be very nice. Save that gorgeous red for something else, where it can star. The dots would be fun in a children's quilt.
