I like the orange--so bright and cheerful !

I like the green. The orange kind of makes your eye stop there. Maybe use it as your binding to finish it off and bring your eye all the way out thru the last border.

I like the orange and I would make it very narrow. I've been adding 1/4" stop borders in pop colors on my quilts and really like the look.

Having said that... if you choose to use a middle border I'd go with the orange, but very narrow, like cut an inch border and then you'd have a 1/2 " border to pop!


my thoughts too

I like the orange. It highlights the big border and frames the rest of the quilt very pleasantly.

I like the green. I think the orange is too bold and doesn't go with the rest of the fabric. At first glance all I see is orange. I think the green blends everything together and my eye is drawn to the cute animals.

Normally I would say the orange, because I love bright colours, but in this case I find it jarring, rather than a "pop" of colour. The light green flows better with the other fabrics IMHO... cute quilt & fabrics!
