    Orange? Never would have thought of that, but going to dig out some orange and audition! I'll let you know.

    I don't think it calls for a border. Think it might detract from those really great lighthouses. Agree with Julie in NM, do a scrappy binding with left over fabric.

    Looks great as is. If you need to enlarge it then you could add borders.

    Exactly my thoughts, or if not enough fabric, a striped binding cut on the bias would look funky too.
    This is what I thought, too! :thumbup:
