Personal opinion, I could be wrong.
I agree with your idea. The second one blends better, colorwise. IMHO
I have to agree! The color of the second one blends/matches the quilt better. It isn't too busy. I think it would compliment and finish off your quilt very nicely! [IMHO]

I think i like the first one better. It seems a little more calming. Nice job!

I like the first one. The print is similar to the orange and its intensity balances out the orange.

I like number 1. I agree that number 2 is busy. The color is beautiful, though.

Don't know why but I always opt for a solid binding. I do like the other fabric but I'd go with the first one. First instincts are usually right! You did a good job anyway. Love the fabric.

The binding should blend into the quilt, not stand out as a frame. Choose the one you think does that.

You will find too many opinions here. I like them both and you will have to decide which hits your fancy the best. Either one will be lovely.
