I think your quilt as it is a really nice but I agree the orange draws your eye and not the baskets and they are soooo cute. I think a light shade or orange or green would do the trick. I would hate to have to take it apart but it would be a shame to be disappointed in it after all the hard work that went into the baskets.
You have the start of a great strip quilt with orange being your connecting color. I had a similar experience with yellow a while back and it'll appear in projects for years to come.
Either way you have a beauty but you have to be happy with it. Once it's quilted you will probably like it more.
