I would use the orange as a binding, however, but either the orange or the purple would be good for binding.
    Me, too.

    Beautiful! Orange binding but no orange border - does take away from quilt. Nice work - love the colors!

    Orange is my favorite color but in this case I vote no orange border. In fact I wouldn't use orange binding either, I'd bind it in purple.

    Great quilt, the orange binding would finish it nicely.

    Is purple or orange going to be your primary color? If it is purple I would go with orange binding. If it is orange then I would go with purple binding. Love your quilt as is :-)
