I'm odd man out here. If you don't need the border for size - I like the narrow brown strip then I'd bind it in the same brown. It is a beautiful quilt!

I like the narrow dark border and then the print. Makes a nice frame.

I vote for the pink small border, then the solid.

It may be the picture, but the print reads as orange to me. I don't see anything to tie the darker pinks with it.

I'll hang out with you.....and if size is needed I think the wide brown, to me the print takes away from the lovely pattern of the quilt, I see the colors not the design.

I like the print, no inner border and bind in the dark brown. Very nice quilt!

If the narrow border was a color in the print(yellow or blue)I think the print fabric would look better.Wonderful quilt you made!

I really like the narrow dark brown strip, then the print. Gives your eye a place to rest.

this was my thought too. I like the print as the border, do not notice the Orange at all.
