    I like this idea and the idea of multiple borders--a thin one of the print and then either the brown or orange and use the other for the binding.

    this sounds like a great idea.

    In your 2nd photo, I really like the way the orange border blends with the orange and the brown border blends with the brown. I would try adding brown to the top and orange on the right side. The corners could be mitered or a blue square could be placed on each corner to continue the diagonal flow across the quilt. Then blue? for binding.

    For me, the best way to decide on borders, is to lay out as many combinations as possible and take photos. There is usually one that jumps out and grabs you. :D

    There are many possibilities posted here. Have fun with it!

    I go for the brown for the border. .. maybe you could use the brown as a smaller border and then end with the orange as the outer border??

    you could do orange and bind it in brown. best of both worlds.

    I know blue wasn't an option, but have you considered blue?

    Why not both? Thin brown to frame and larger orange to finish? Just a thought. Think the quilt is very happy - great job :)
