The border is what attracted me to this design as well. It was really easy but time consuming and used almost 3 bobbins of thread! It is strip peiced with all the dark colors with the tan on the end in one set and another set of strips in the lights with tan on one end. Then cut the stips at 45 degree angle the darks one way the lights the opposite angle direction. Then piece them together to make chevron units. While sewing on a bias usually requires a certain amount of delicacy I found that extra strech great for matching up those points on it. Didn't use a pin on any of it until I sewed it to the main quilt and nary a point off, every one of em lined up for me :D . Once you get them all sewn together you lop off the points of the chevron left on the top and the bottom 1/4" from the points of the next color block. I will try and get close ups of the border for you.
