Wow, what a beautiful quilt! Good job! I think all the borders are great, but I am one that loves LOTS of color, lots of things going on, so I opt for the border with the little square flowers. They seem to pick up all the colors in the quilt nicely, and add so much fun to the quilt. Yes, I would use the multi-color border.

This would be my choice also. Love the fabrics in the quilt and I think the border print works well.

Your picture border is perfect with or without the inner border in my own humble opinion.

I would say a darker brown like the inside brown.

I like the solid brown .....

How about if you make a really thin orange "flippy" border and then use the brown print if you want to use the print?

I think this is going to be the one but i did order a better matching blue. I might do the blue in a flange style.

I, too, would go with the first one you showed, the print. I liked the one with the 1 or 2 inch or solid first, and then the print. It is a neat quilt, and I do like it.

Cute quilt!

This may not work at all, but what about trying a narrow orange border that would match the orange in the print, and then the printed border
