    IF you have enough of the purple/blue fabric., I would add a border of it (same width as sashing) before adding the outer border. It will make the floral blocks look more finished. I know because I have one that I wish I had added the extra piece to. Whichever border you use, I will be beautiful!

    I really like the salmon/peach color the best.

    I prefer the green. It really makes the print shine, whereas the orange fights for attention.

    My vote goes to the green fabric. It seems to make the colors in the floral fabric really pop.

    They're both nice enough to use. My pick would be the peach as it's the direct complement of the blue and therefore is able to hold its own against the very busy floral print. I feel like the green is too similar to the background of the floral and while it definitely brings out the green tone in the floral's background, it also fails to give a place for the eye to really rest as it moves across the quilt. So I would have somewhat of a preference for the peach -- but they both look nice.

    Wimbledon colours purple and green, makes me think of tennis strawberries and cream.

    I agree with Bree.
