Here's my 2 cents worth. I'd see how it looked with a 3/4" finished(cut at 1-1/4") of the orange & use the orange
as the binding also. I tend to use the same fabric as an inner border & binding. If trying something a little diff., I'll
lay it out & look it over, walk away, then look again, 2-3 times before I cut. Hope this helps.
