At first glance, I like the orange, but at second glance, it does overpower the blocks. I think a green, as someone else suggested, might look really nice. Not sure about yellow.

I like the orange, the yellow to me blends in to much.Your baskets are very pretty, can't wait to see it done.

Love your baskets.My choice would be a narrow lt green ,then a thinner border with lt green binding.Will be watching to see your final quilt. Know it will be beautiful.

I think green sashing would accent the baskets...the orange seems to wash them out a bit...my opinion.

I love the quilt and the fabric and you've done a good job. But I think you might be right, the orange kind of washes out the baskets. Don't worry about wasting the sashing material, there is always another quilt down the road where you can use it. I love that border fabric. Pick another color from it, maybe the green and use it.

Who makes the border fabric and where did it come from? Love it.

Sorry, but all I see is the sashing - my eyes are not drawn to the baskets at all. The orange border around the baskets is fine - the sashing takes away from them.
