    Call me crazy, I would do both, I think it looks great the way the orange and brown blend, then would use a multicolor binding, using all three in the binding. But again that is just me. I think for a baby it would be different and something that would attract.

    I was told to always use the color that was used the least. It will make the quilt pop.

    Pick up the blue in the blocks. This quilt doesn't have to be too big as babies aren't that big!

    Definitely the orange, it makes the whole quilt really bright and cheerful :)

    I agree with Scissor Queen. You need a small something to separate the quilt from the border. A narrow blue border 1" to 1 1/2" would be perfect and then the orange. Your border should be divisible by your block i.e. if your block is 6" your border should be 2" or 3". If our block is 12", your border should be 3", 4" or 6". You get the idea.

    Orange for sure! I like the idea of a small blue with the orange, then brown binding.

    Looks like she is taking a very close look at the work - good job inspector!!!! :)

    Very pretty quilt - I'd go with orange for the border
