Please help me decide, I was thinking White, nah, then orange,humm, help please

Very cute! It all goes to personal taste! I hope you can find a fun print to go on the back! I recommend SID and small stippling around the Sunbonnet Sues. Some pretty stitching in the sashing would be nice also!

thank you for your opinions, The quilt isn't for anyone special, these quilts have become my babies, I just can't let them go yet. I am OCD and rush into things just to get them done, I have (in my opinion) messed a quilt up, just to get it done. I think I will be patient and see, I do like the idea of Lady T's idea, and then I like the pink idea, and the stippling around the Sue sounds really good,I will post when finished, I stipppled a dresden plate all over and over the plate, it took away from the plate, I am a little disappointed, but we learn that way hu? Thanks again ladies and I really mean I have learned from your posts, and can't wait for more ideas, tips, and pictures. Brenda
