The block designs are perfect for your fabrics. I love your denim circles with your bow tie blocks. I think I see a tiny mushroom in the print fabric with a cheddar orange stem and a blue with white dot mushroom top... just thinking.. would a second border look ok with blue and tiny white dot fabric? Have fun with whatever fabric you decide upon.

So far it's been really fun.

You know, I may have some of that gold/orange...I'm currently making a gold/white quilt with it....found a bolt of it at an estate sale and LOVE the color. If you want to PM me, I'll dig up a picture for you.

you may have to go with a border of varied shades of orange in the piece of fabric, thus not picking up on any of them, yet adding to the quilt - hoping to get near the right color - just some thoughts
