okay, I am clueless, I am fashion challenged, and I need help. I am planning to get a backpack and a tote, because I can't choose just one fabric, and I have no clue what to match with them.
Please tell me if these go together for a backpack, and whether these fabrics are tough enough for a backpack:
I want one of these as the main fabric:

with one of these as the piping band:

And one of these on the bottom:
http://www.thecottonshop.net/fabricshop/thumbs/tn_FS84.JPG http://www.thecottonshop.net/fabricshop/thumbs/tn_FS48.JPG
Does that seem too busy? Now that I see them together I am not sure they go together. Or what about one of these on the bottom (they come in other colors too)?

And for the inside I think I like one of these, but which one, or do I need a solid?

All of these are the Temple Flowers line from Free Spirit which I found at http://www.thecottonshop.net . Are there better coordinates in there to one of the birds? I really like the birds, but I like the flowers too. Do I need a solid for the bottom?
Now for a tote, I like this:

with this on the bottom:

Or do you think this needs a solid on the bottom and if so which one? And what should I use for a separator? Are the roses too busy for a diaper bag?
And I need something for the inside too, what should I use for that? I know I want a light color, should it be a solid, or should I use the same pink stripe?
Do you think the roses would be better for a backpack and the birds better for a tote?
