Default opinions please - sorry I am so needy

This quilt has been the biggest struggle that I have had in a looooong time. Thank you to everyone who replied on my earlier post, but I abandoned the hourglass blocks for this quilt. This fabric is just to subtle with soft hues to take much competition from other blocks and colors.

I decided to go with just with simple block with green sashing. So far I like it, but I am stuck on the borders.

I feel like it needs a different color thrown in but I can't decide which way to go. What do you guys think? or any suggestions?

I really like the orange inner border. I would also use the same
fabric as the sashing for the final border.

I would probably use the same fabric and color of the sashes.

I like the first photo, but I'd try the blue instead of the orange. But the orange is nice too.

Oh the orange inner border just popped out at me. It picks up the orange in the quilt and give it some ZING!

I like the first one, it's cohesive and soothing.
