I like KarenK's idea. Brown top and bottom and orange on the sides. Add a blue square on each corner to continue the diagonal flow across the quilt. Then blue? for binding. Love what you've got so far....colors and pattern! Please post a photo when you've finished it.

I would go for brown border and orange binding. Just me!

What do you think, orange or brown. Don't mind the quilt inspector-she testing the process, sleeping on the job.
Thanks for your input.

I'd want to use some blue in the border, at least a narrow inner border.

I was thinking along similar lines, but I would leave the Orange on Orange and Brown on Brown with the mitre, then it looks like the main body bleeds into the borders just softening it a little. Not sure about binding, what are you using for the backing?
