I have been planning on adding another border of the orange to the outside of this quilt, but now that I have this much done, I really like the look of it like this. But I think it may need the orange border along with the purple.

What do you think? Would you add the orange border, or just use the orange for the binding?

It looks complete and very nice without the border. I actually think in this case the border takes away because it becomes a vocal point. The color really pops.

I really like it without the orange border

I think just orange for the binding sounds like a great idea.

IMHO - I like the quilt "as is" without the orange border. Seems like the wide orange border is all I see on the second photo and it takes my eye away from the beauty of the quilt (which btw, looks like 3D in pic #1). I would use the orange as a binding, however, but either the orange or the purple would be good for binding.

I like it the way it is!

I think the orange binding would be a nice touch. Don't think it needs anything else.

The quilt is 3-D. The orange triangles are prairie points!

No orange border, just orange binding. :-)

IMHO, don't put on the organge border. if it were mine, I think I would bind it in green-the orange is sufficient in the body of it-in facat, I think I would make a green scrappy binding using left over greens from the quilt. It is a cracker of a quilt!!

I agree with everyone else. No orange border.

I agree!! :thumbup:

I'll add my vote to the "no orange border" group. It looks absolutely lovely as-is and I think the purple frames it beautifully.

I'm agreeing here. I think orange binding, no more borders. It's lovely as it is! And bright and playful!

I think it looks better without the orange border. I think using the orange for the binding would look great!

Great quilt by the way!

I would like to see it with a purple binding. It makes a nice frame.

Love it as it is.

I would use the orange for binding. I don't think it needs another border.

Wow! This has to be a first for here! Everyone agrees! (so far) It is funny, but all along I was planning on the orange border.... until I had all of the purple borders on. Then I really liked it that way, without the orange border.

Since for now, we have a consensus - NO orange border!

I agree with this. By the way, lovely quilt! :)

I vote for the orange binding too...just a thin binding...not too wide or it will be overpowering as the others have said...
It is very striking..I love your colors!!

I like it without the orange border - if you really need the orange on the outside edge, use it as binding

I think the orange would look very nice. It would be my choice if I were making it.

me too

It is very pretty without the orange. I would just use the orange as a binding. Very pretty quilt.

with out the extra border would look awsome orange for binding..

I agree.

That's exactly what I was going to say!

Great quilt.

I like it as is, without the orange border. I would do the binding to match the purple, not in the orange.

You already have the borders on, but if not, you could've put a very small piping border in the orange at the outer edge of the print and the purple. But it looks great just as it is. Something to think about for future projects.

Like it w/o the added border. The orange binding would look good IMHO.

I agree no boarder.

Just orange binding,, border is overpowering.

I think it is beautiful without the orange border. Looks completed. I love it.

What a stunning quilt!! I would suggest the orange is a very vibrant - strong color and could be somewhat overpowering, if you add another border in this orange it takes away the beauty of your quilt - like the other ladies suggest, a small binding in green or orange would work better in this case..Best Luck and thanks for sharing.

I agree with Katie -- leave the bright border off and use it for the binding. It will add to the punch but not be overpowering. Nice quilt.

I would use the orange for the binding! Beautiful quilt!! :thumbup: :D

No orange border in my opinion!

Great quilt top. Like it without the added border.
