I prefer the brown. But is there another color you can use (that's not the blue, orange or brown that you've already used) to make a small (say 1" ) border between the blocks and the larger border. I like when there is a visual 'stop' to the interior of the quilt, so it doesn't look the colors are 'leaking' onto the border .

Ditto the above except how about a skinny border or piping of blue, either before the orange or right next to the binding?

I like the orange, but would add a thin border of the blue, then end with a wide brown. This would balance the colors. Nice dog.

Definitely Orange.... it is fresh and bright for a baby.... If you wanted a double border, I would do a small blue one to set it apart from the orange; however, I like the way the orange will connect with the inside of the quilt making an interesting pattern for the eye to follow... good for the baby's eye/brain developoment.

I want some more BLUE on there somewhere to bring it all together, too.

A small orange and then bigger brown would look great.

That's a good idea too.
