To make the quilt blend I go along with what SQ says.

That is what I was going to say- a narrow brown border, maybe one and a half-two inches, then a wider orange one and a brown binding.

I'm a big fan of double borders. I would probably do an inside border in a lighter color and then a darker outside border. If you only do one border I would go lighter so that there is something that balances out the orange and brown.
