    Great quilt.

    I like it as is, without the orange border. I would do the binding to match the purple, not in the orange.

    You already have the borders on, but if not, you could've put a very small piping border in the orange at the outer edge of the print and the purple. But it looks great just as it is. Something to think about for future projects.

    Like it w/o the added border. The orange binding would look good IMHO.

    I think it is beautiful without the orange border. Looks completed. I love it.

    What a stunning quilt!! I would suggest the orange is a very vibrant - strong color and could be somewhat overpowering, if you add another border in this orange it takes away the beauty of your quilt - like the other ladies suggest, a small binding in green or orange would work better in this case..Best Luck and thanks for sharing.

    I agree with Katie -- leave the bright border off and use it for the binding. It will add to the punch but not be overpowering. Nice quilt.
