I have already voted for the green but would like to ask you to post what you decide on.

Well Judykay I've decided to go with the orange one. I cut it at 2" and it will finish at 1.5". I will post when I get all four sides on. I'm trying to figure out how to miter the borders. Sewed all strips together of course. I have a story with this quilt all I can say it's a good thing I can laugh at myself....I'll update later today or tomorrow.

The orange jumps out and seems too shocking for the rest of the quilt.

I like a smaller orange, so it's just like a accent. The green seems to blend in too much for me.

The orange gives it real sparkle and I love that.

I like the orange and I agree that it should be no more than maybe a 1" border. The green tends to fade out.

I like the orange but it seems to clash with the border fabric or is too bright an orange. Maybe if you have made it narrow it will work fine.

I'm glad you chose the orange. In this case the green is just too bland.
