Need help with borders.

I've put together these blocks and need to do some borders, but I am truly clueless on what would work well. Hope some of you can give me some inspiration! Thanks.

I've always thought that medium brown or black in 1.5 size to set off a quilt like this so well. Navy blue or medium blue might work too?

Beautiful, but I have not idea what border you should use.

I would keep on using the dark that you are using for the sashing

That's what I was thinking, a thin border of dark then maybe a wider border using one of the lighter tones and then bind in the dark of the sashing/thin border. Look forward to seeing what you decide....nice blocks and fabric you have there.

I agree, use green for narrow border, then a wider one.

Thanks for the input. I plan to finish it this afternoon.

Do you have enough of the sashing fabric to use it for borders?

I feel you can pick up any of these medium colors from the quilt for the border and stay with the same dark as sashing for the binding

A chain of squares would look nice.
