    I prefer the green - it blends in better.

    I like both for the reasons given above. Have you tried an orange outer border? Whatever you chose the quilt will be really pretty

    Guess we haven't been much help! The responses are so split. I agree with Benndm: "I like the green. I think the orange is too bold and doesn't go with the rest of the fabric. I think the green blends everything together and my eye is drawn to the cute animals."

    The light green is very soothing. The orange pops. so it depends on what result you want. They are both nice but i like the orange the best.

    Absolutely the ORANGE. The green is sort of washed out....the orange is perky and interesting but I agree it should be narrow. The green just doesn't do anything for the rest of the quilt. So far the quilt is looking gorgeous.

    Here's my 2 cents worth. I'd see how it looked with a 3/4" finished(cut at 1-1/4") of the orange & use the orange
    as the binding also. I tend to use the same fabric as an inner border & binding. If trying something a little diff., I'll
    lay it out & look it over, walk away, then look again, 2-3 times before I cut. Hope this helps.
