I think a narrow border of a dark color will frame the quilt. But definitely try out different colors as some may work better than others. The orange may be what you want or it may be better with a dark green.

I am also for the orange. It will give a little punch to the rest of the quilt. For a more subdued look then I would use the flowers. Either way it's a very pretty quilt that your DD will have to love and cherish for years to come

I suggest auditioning a dark green as a stopper border before adding the floral.

Beautiful quilt!!! If you have other fabrics in your stash, I'd try them. I think a green might actually help tie it in better, however if you don't have anything else in your stash then by all means, use the orange!!! It is pretty.

I agree. I love orange but I would audition a few possibilities. Beautiful!
