The green border gives the quilt a softer look, but I like the orange as it gives the quilt a "pop", and something different.

I guess it all depends on the effect you are going for. Personally I like the light green as it gives it a restful palette. If the quilt is for some one who likes bright than the orange one.

I like the green, it seems to fit better with the feel of the quilt. The orange is too jarring and calls too much attention to itself.

I like the green and would use the orange as the binding to add color, the green is softer.

Just my humble opinion.

I agree w/this and would also use it for the binding. I would use a more subdued orange. I think that one is too bright.

Now this answer is a strange one for me as I do not like green & love orange, but I think the orange is to bright for the rest of the quilt. I think the green would make the rest of the quilt blend better & maybe do the binding in the orange. It is an awesome quilt.

I agree with charsuewilson......the orange is way too bold for this quilt.

So what do you like in the middle the light green or orange. Thanks bunches for all your input. Oh and I apologize now if my pics show up large....

The light green looks to me like there's a gap in the fabrics. If the green was the same color as the green leaves and mushrooms in the amimal print, I'd like it.

OTOH, the orange is a bit harsh. I'd probably have chosen the leaf green or the blue.

I think definitely the orange. It brings the brights out more without overpowering.
