Sorry to say but I don't think it works. The style of the fabric is to different from the rest of the pretty quilt. It just looks mis matched. Audition the dark brown for your border. I think it will have a richer look and really go from "make do" to "WOW".
The quilt is very pretty. Keep the finish simple and the quilt will sing.

After seeing a few of your choices, I like the addition of the solid pink or blue with the solid border. I would piece the (pink or blue) inner border to add a dark brown piece so the DR BR sashing ends at the DR BR border. It should continue through the (pink/ blue) border and connect with the outer border.

Again, I like the quilt very much.
peace

The print is great... it ties everything together and is interesting.

I really like the addition of the dark strip around the border. It gives the lines running to the edge a place to "land." I also think the print is good. I matches well with the quilt.

I like the way you have it in the first picture with your thread.

I think this will look good.

I'd go with the little pink border, followed by the dark brown. Very nice!

It's called Hip to {not} be square and it's from a book called Living Large 2 by Heather Mulder Peterson.

Definitely like the print better! It highlights the movement in the rest of the design. Gorgeous quilt!

I think put a dark brown strip first, to frame it, then the border. it is a beautiful quilt...
