I agree. The brown just isn't enough. Good luck!

I like the one on the right with a brown binding. I like the border fabric. the brown is boring to me and you want to show off your work on the hexigons. bring out the beauty so people know what the fabric looked like. quilter_kjm

I would double the width of the brown border and then use the print border for the binding. The print border as it shown takes away from the overall quilt.

The brown brings out the elegant simplicity of your quilt.

I'm with Irish rose, the brown for me does not seem to pop out the quilt

I also like the idea of the two brown borders with the print in between them.
