    I like the same color outer border (same as sash) and either the orange or blue inner border to bring out either preferred color from the pattern.

    That's how I feel too. And the orange frames it so nicely; not too much, not too little, just perfect in my opinion.

    I would use the same fabric for the border and binding as you have used for the sashing.

    It's a sweet little print - let it be seen.

    If you want bright - use it for the backing.

    Stick with the winning combo you already have .... Just use the same green as your sashings are for the border/binding. The simplicity, subtlety and softness of your quilt is why it looks so nice.

    I am guessing your sashings are only one inch finished. Yes? No?
    If so, how about stopping where you are now, and just put a binding on that is the same one inch, with no further borders. Of course, that is, if the quilt is large enough. If it needs to be larger, just stick with the same green for the border and binding.

    I really like how you did this quilt!!! I like it a lot better than when you had the hourglasses in it. Good job!!!!!!
    I really like that skinny orange- sets it off nicely.
    You have a winner, no matter what you choose (except that dark blue, I don't like it on there lol)

    PS. I none of us were needy we wouldn't need the board, right?

    I would do the second picture. I love all things orange, and your deep blue is a great color, but you have a low volume quilt that is lovely, honor that decision and keep it low volume.

    I like the smaller orange sash and then the blue for the larger sash.....they pull out the colors from the main blocks beautiful. However, we all have different feelings but that pulls the colors from the blocks and makes everything pulled together. Have fun and do what you like!!!!

    The first picture. Too much green/teal in the other pictures.

    I would use the blue, possibly with an inner border of the sashing fabric.
