You need the solid contrasting border to contain the colors in the quilt. I used chocolate brown in my Fandango quilt, but mine had no white so it read much darker.
This sounds good!! I'm going to look for a solid coral color. Unfortunately, no quilt shop locally! I need order a Kona sample card for this very reason. Then I have yardage of a couple of Fandango fabrics I can audition for the the outer border. Thanks!! I'd love to see your quilt!
