    I agree! What a gorgeous top - I wouldn't change it, stay with the orange :)

    I love orange, too, but I do think that particular orange is too bright for the pastel baskets. I'm liking the idea of a soft Spring green.

    I like the orange, but it does dominate. In the closeup picture, I think I see a lighter orange in one of the half square triangles on the right side. I'm wondering how a softer orange like that shade would look.

    The orange is lovely, but it does tend to overpower your lovely baskets. I think a soft green that tones with your border, or even the basket fabric would look lovely.

    I like it just how it is....don't forget, when you come to quilt it the quilting design can be used to highlight some areas more than others.
