    My vote too! The print binding would soften the border and pull it together. Nice choices for a baby!

    I would do an orange border then bind in brown. I like the binding to be of a darker color as it tends to get dirty quicker. I have a new affection for orange, so, I reallky like your quilt.

    I think belmer has the right idea.

    A narrow orange border & a wider brown border with blue cornerstones and brown binding to finish it off.

    I like this idea. Keeps it a little lighter or softer for a baby.
