This picture shows the fabric strip set i already have for the border. However I want it to be larger than the 54"x68" that it will be with only this border.

I'm currently considering a pieced border of some sort between the sashing and the dark row. Just not sure what would look good and continue the calm mood of the quilt.

What would you suggest?

Thanks in advance.

The outside fabric (wider one) is lighter than the picture shows. It is just on the dark side of medium.

Do have enough of each of these to do a wider outer border.

Which do you think works best?
Or would a pieced border in between the sashing and the dark look best?

The second one to me, definitely looks the best; and I think if you pick a dark binding then it would really look nice.

I think either of them would be fine. I agree about a dark binding.

I think to keep the calm feel stay in the same colours. I like the second one best.

The second one!

Agree completely. 2nd one and dark binding!

I like the second one also and I would use the dark fabric in the inside border for the binding.

Yup, I'd agree with the others, and do the 2nd one.
