Have you tried letting us search for more of the gold and blue (the one w/ circles) that you have laid out as borders in the photo? They are so much more effective as outer borders than the cream would be. The cream would be fine but the gold and blue are gorgeous. We're really pretty good at finding 'older' fabrics around here ya know. ;) Want to give it a try? Do you have the selvege info from them? It's a beautiful top.
