i like the second picture because it is soft and carries on the soft theme of the quilt.

I like them all so whatever you chose will be great!! If I had to pick just one, I agree with narrow orange one:)

Since it is just an opinion, to me the orange draws the eye to the orange and takes away from actually looking at the print in the blocks. It is a soft print quilt, and having the borders really bright takes my eyes from the actual body of the quilt - therefore, I would opt for a border to be the same as the block sashing, with no big contrast color between.
But it will be lovely and loved, however you do it.

I would also use the orange for inner border, but then I would add the blue for a wider outer border and bind with maybe the same fabric as your sashing? Good luck, please show us your final decision.

After looking again at your soft print, Maybe not the orange, but the soft pink for inner border, then the blue.

I think it depends on your favorite color - orange or blue. But, with either one as the inner narrow border, I would use the sashing color for the outer border. I feel the color gives the eye a good stop and the sash color for the outer just finishes it nicely. (For the record, I would use the blue, but, blue is always been my favorite color!)

My vote is for the orange inner border ~

That is such a cute print! I would love to know the name of it and the manufacturer etc. It's funny to me that when you put the small border of whatever color then you notice that collor on the little figures. All of a sudden their wardrobe etc. stand out. I agree the color of your sashings should be the border.

I vote orange. It's a happy color!
