    Question This border fabric-yay or nay?

    It mostly has all the colors from the top but instead of pink, it has orange. When I look at it that's all I see but I don't know that I'd find anything closer. Another option is to use a solid border (I think I have enough of the dark brown I used for the stripes).

    I can't tell from the pic if the background color for the border is black or brown. As long as it's the same as the window sashing, I think it's perfect.

    Cute quilt!

    This may not work at all, but what about trying a narrow orange border that would match the orange in the print, and then the printed border

    Exactly the thing I was thinking!
    A quilt is like a good life. It's full of mistakes, but, in the end, it looks pretty good.

    They're both brown but the stripes are a darker brown. I don't have a shop here so I have to order online, and sometimes I have to make an uneducated guess about whether or not something will match. lol

    I would probably go boring and put an inner thin pink border and then an outer brown one--but probably solid brown, even if I were tired of brown.

    I think put a dark brown strip first, to frame it, then the border. I am sure whatever you do will be lovely!

    I like this idea, or a white framing border, but I really like your print.

    this was my thought too. I like the print as the border, do not notice the Orange at all.

    This would be my choice also. Love the fabrics in the quilt and I think the border print works well.
