    A flange of the orange then a border of the blue with a black binding. Quilt with the variegated thread. IMHO

    I would do stips of beige then the green then finish off with the beige. The beige is neutral and will set off the design better. The orange is a strong color and should be left where it is.

    I am going to be the odd ball and tell you that I like the blue. It has the teal swirls in it and I think it looks really nice. The teal as the border washed out all the center squares. IF you want to do a flange though, the teal since it matches with the blue and then the black binding... or a black flange with the teal binding.

    Let us see what you decide though in the end.

    I would do a flange of orange then use the green for the border.

    Green gets my vote. Very pretty colors.

    I also like the blue.

    the red makes the whole quilt pop and seem a little loud.

    the green, sort of washes it out, plus you have a lot of green in there.

    the blue seems to me to pull it all together...
