I'm with you.

There was something bothering me about both the green and the peach. You've nailed the problem. It needs a purple border first to finish the blocks.

Green really sets off the floral quilts so that is my choice.

I like the orange but in a more intense color to match the flowers in the quilt. a very bright intense quilt.

the green is my vote... I try stepping back and squinting my eyes. Usually I can make a decision that way. Or I take a picture with my cell phone. I have caught QUITE a few mistakes before quilting that way! WHEW
