    I think the green looks more consistent with the quilt. The orange stands out too much.

    Definitely orange. It really pops that happy fabric. I agree that it should be very narrow.

    Ok, if it is the orange my next question would be how narrow, the stripe border is 2" finished the outside border will be 4" finished, so would a 1.5" finish orange be the right width then?

    I like the green. The orange "pops" a little too much for my taste. But it will be cute either way. If you go with the orange, maybe just a very narrow strip of it would be an idea.

    I like the orange also. - at the most 1.5 inch border of orange.

    Actually I would not put in a middle border. On the first picture I didn't even notice the green it was so light, and I liked the animal print with the stripe. Having said that... if you choose to use a middle border I'd go with the orange, but very narrow, like cut an inch border and then you'd have a 1/2 " border to pop!
