I need a little "border" help
#1
This is only my 4th quilt and I'm having trouble selecting a border color for this "square in square 2". I laid out 3 options (altho am willing to consider others too)- burgundy which matches the center sq., beige also matches center sq., or off white which matches the polka dots. I thought if I used the off white or beige I'd use the orange polka dot for binding. If I used the burgundy I thought I might use off white/white which would match the dots in the quilt and the center square. Please- any opinions would be helpful.

Do you have any more of the floral fabric - that one would be a nice border - even if it was narrow with a wider border added after it. Maybe try a medium/light green. Otherwise I like the burgundy, but I wouldn't use the white for binding against a burgundy border.

Thanks for all the input, everybody.

I like janRN's suggestion, too.
I suggested green because it is a cooler color and opposite the "red family" on the color wheel. It may be a nice contrast against the pink, orange, and burgandy (all 3 in the red family) I find green to be a wonderful neutral and use it almost as much as beige. But that's just me. Throw a little green down there and see what you think.
