    Here's what I think would happen with the orange. Your eye would be immediately drawn to the orange. I think a border should not compete with the blocks and in this case, it definitely would compete for attention. It should frame the picture, not be the focus of the picture.

    What about that Light colored background with the fine orange/blue geometric large border, a grey or blue skinny border and that fun orange print Claire likes as the binding???

    Jean has a good point.
