I'd go with the blue too. The green just doesn't coordinate well.

I think the blue is a much better choice.

I think the blue looks lovely. Good selection. I tend strongly to modern quilts, but I think you have traditional blocks with traditional fabrics, so I would just go for it. This happened to me once too. I bought the fabric and then I thought, "Why did I get this. It looks like something my mom would have liked." But I finished the quilt, and it turned out just fine. It wasn't to my taste, but my wonderful neighbor loved it, so I gave it to her. She was thrilled.

this was my initial thought, too
