    I held up my finger in front of the orange border before the flowered one, and it did mute the effect of the orange around the blocks. But I do think orange is the right choice.

    I like it, and I think you nailed the flowers you had worried about.

    As you already know, the eye is immediately drawn to your bright sashing & borders, rather than the baskets. It looks good, BUT you have to decide whether the baskets or the frames are the primary "eye candy". If it's the baskets, I think you have to frame them with different sashing/border fabrics.

    I love orange, but that particular orange is overpowering. A softer tone would work or do like the suggestion of trying a soft green. The baskets have ended up beautiful----I hate to see them get lost.

    I would like to see the flowers centered in the white and a little orange one in the center.( like the little one in the border.) I love the colorers and the pattern. Great job.

    I like it with the orange. I think the pale yellow would not offer enough contrast from the baskets and would wash everything out. A medium or bright yellow will overpower the entire quilt. Yellow is a very powerful color.
