Default Big bright orange!

I pieced these blocks about 2 years ago. I didn't like them that well and never sewed them up. Well inspiration struck and I threw them together today (to feel accomplished for a day) and then realized borders would really help! Now I think it's great!

Yup - have to agree with Tartan. The spots of blue are inspired! Orange is such a scary color to me. Each time I see another success with it I gain more courage to use it liberally. You have done a great job. Letting it "marinate" in your mind for a bit was the perfect solution!

I grew up orange- both high school and college. I'm used to seeing lots of it everywhere I go! I think that makes it easier to use it in a large way. If it speaks to you don't be afraid!
