    Default which inner border?

    I am working on this quilt from scraps from another project. I can't decide on what inner border to use.

    I really like the orange - it matches tweety's feet but is it too bright? The stripe outer border I will probably make smaller that how it is laid out now Would I be better off using the darker blue?

    I'm liking both but think I like the blue better.

    Great quilt!! Between the two, I like the dark blue (and usually I am a "bright inner border gal"). What about yellow? I'm just not loving the dark blue. Whatever you decide will be great!!

    I vote for the blue. It's a bit quieter.

    I like the orange! I think it makes the whole quilt lighter. The blue seems too dark compared to the centre and border for my taste.

    I like the orange makes twenty stand out but yellow would work too, think the blue just too much blue for me..
