    I like the brown that matches the inner border. Nice quilt!

    I love that red plaid with the floral, but I think the brown works better as the binding, and I agree that the floral seems a bit ornate for the simplicity of the quilt interior.

    I like the dark brown/red binding best. Great top!

    I like the brown--the red plaid is too busy for the flowered border. I also like the flowered border very much. It is a good contrast to the simple center block. I really like your quilt and your choice of fabrics.

    I do like the red plaid but here's another vote for the brown. It's a pretty awesome quilt.

    I vote for the brown. It ties in nicely with the brown border around the house block. The plaid seems a little busy next to the floral border. I think your house quilt us quite adorable.

    Another vote for brown. I love the floral border against the simple center block. Fantastic use for an orphan block.
