I was going use narrow brown boarder and next on a little bigger with blue on left and umbrella fabric as the last at 5 inches wide. The quilt is for a twin bed and with out boarders it is 56x56. Thanks for your help.

I like a small brown with a large blue don't like the umbrellas with the quilt. that is just my opinion
May the umbrellas don't go now that i look again

Guess it depends on whether you want to tone your quilt down with the brown, or really make it lively with the wide umbrella border. I tend to lean towards the traditional (brown).
I think the brown should be your large outer border, and I think a smaller strip of the blue would make a great inner border. I don't like the umbrellas with those blocks.
I would use blue first border, brown second border.
I agree with the others. Nix the umbrellas and do narrow blue border and wider brown one. Will be lovely. show us when you finish. :-)
She who dies with the most fabric, didn't sew fast enough!
Thanks everyone, I have enough blue for small and outside boarder will be brown. I am glad I ask. I show pictures when I am done. This is Bonnie Hunter's Star struck.

I love that umbrella fabric, I don't know how it would look on the boarder though. I would add the umbrella to the back.I can't wait to see it finished.
enjoy your life...it's the only one you have!!!
