How do you plan to quilt it? If you are going to use anything other than straight line stitching around each piece, I would use the floral print or the rick rack like piece you have in the quilt. If you can't get enough of either of those two, then get a solid of the same color of one of your pieces, or use black. Just my opinion.

I think that zig-zag pattern would make a wonderful backing. I would use that or something in another multi-tone print that picks up your wild colors. I think adding a purple border to the blue/green one and to the backing side also and using the purple for binding would finish off the quilt perfectly, IMHO. It could be one of the purple small prints or another purple fabric in that color tone. I think the purple would pull the quilt together (or corral it, lol), give the eyes a stopping place and bounce them back into the wild middle again after they have rested.
PS: If you used fat quarters of the zig-zag, you could alternate their direction to add more interest to the backing if you wished.

The backing is finished, jusat as wild. The picture doesn't do it justice, but here it is made up of nine fat quarters. It isn't wide enought so I'll have to find a border to match. I'll need sunglasses when I get done with this. LOL
Just as wild!
