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.

Definitely "as is" for my taste, but it all depends on what YOU like best. :) For binding, maybe, but not as another border. It takes FROM the quilt.

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