I would use the solid green you have used in the quilt already and then add a wide dark brown border to frame it. I hope you do not give up on this quilt. I like it.
That is exactly what I was going to say. We had one like this several years ago, only it was made out of wool. Talk about a warm quilt. To me, this is the true quilt. Edie
