I used a charm pack and made this tablerunner... however, I am not sure how to finish it. It is already SO bright and busy that I am not feeling good about using the polkadot charms that are left as a border. I would like to finish it with just the brown polkadot charms, but there is only one left. Thinking I need to go searching for more of that fabric.

Any other ideas??

Found some scraps that may work, and get rid of the brown all together? added more pics

and... my stash is very small, and nothing I have are the right colors.

I would choose one of the colors in the runner for the binding. It would not take much, but I don't think I would repeat the brown. Darker red maybe?

You dont think I need a border all the way around? then the binding?

I think you have the right idea, just need a different color, one of the colors in the runner. A marble or blender wouldn't be as stark as a solid color.

What about a navy blue, or try to match the blue that you have used?

Lots of good suggestions.

I was thinking a chocolate brown but are u using it on that table you pictured it one. Then the blue would look better. I like the darker blue with the chickens, in a blender. You wouldn't need a binding. Could just turn it.
