The bright orange is the only pop of color in the quilt and definitely draws the eye to be the focus of attention. I feel the orange set in the piano keys draws the eye away from your blocks and embroidery and is a distraction. It would be better suited as very thin accent border around each block and not in the piano keys themselves. And when I say thin I mean 1/4" exposed so pieced in or as a flange. You can easily use your precut orange strips. Cut them down to 3/4" width to piece in a 1/4" frame or 1" folded in half as a flange. But keep in mind flanges are usually problematic for long arm quilters so they could add to the cost of having the piece long armed.
