OK, as much as I hate to have two threads about the same quilt, I've run into a bit of a problem. My original plan was to finish off this quilt with a 5" light beige border all the way around, HOWEVER, I though I had enough fabric but I don't. The fabric is old stock, on sale, and the other close matches are just not quite the right colour. The only one I have enough fabric for is the dark brown with leaf print on it. I'm just not sure it will look good :( I'm so dissapointed...
Tell me if it would be totally ugly with the dark brown, or maybe give me some other ideas. The quilt as it is doesn't have quite enough overhang for my bed, my mattresses are pretty high.
