I also vote for the orange.
|
I say 3-4 " orange border and then a 2" brown border with a brown binding.

I'm a big fan of double borders. I would probably do an inside border in a lighter color and then a darker outside border. If you only do one border I would go lighter so that there is something that balances out the orange and brown.

Love the brown! It really sets off the quilt.

Well, now we have totally confused you, I think a 1" blue border and then the print, binding it in orange. Now, sleep well tonight, and tomorrow with a clear head, maybe you can make your decision. By the way, what is the back?
|
I am liking the idea of using the blue myself.
|
I also suggest adding a small bit of blue and then adding on an orange or brown border. Either way, the baby is going to enjoy snuggling in their quilt. Great job on the quilt.
|
I agree with dungeon quilter. Switch the brown with the orange and I'd add blue squares in the corners.
Love the orange!!!! |
I would go with a small border of blue then orange. I think the small blue border would finish it off better then have a nice orange border.

I think I would use a narrow blue border and then a slightly wider orange border and bind with the print.Since it is for a baby, I don't think I would add any more brown. That would leave the brown as an accent color.

I would do an orange border then bind in brown. I like the binding to be of a darker color as it tends to get dirty quicker. I have a new affection for orange, so, I reallky like your quilt.

I like KarenK's idea. Brown top and bottom and orange on the sides. Add a blue square on each corner to continue the diagonal flow across the quilt. Then blue? for binding. Love what you've got so far....colors and pattern! Please post a photo when you've finished it.
|
Have you thought of using the blue? the orange is nice.

Thanks for your input. |
Orange with a blue binding.
|
I'd want to use some blue in the border, at least a narrow inner border.
