I really like the border you have auditioned. I think it frames the quilt nicely and I see you have some of that fabric, or close to it, in the pieced blocks.

Great border--I agree with whomever said it made the blocks glow. Be sure and show the finished project.

I think it's perfectly balanced - you've used both those colours in the blocks and I think it would tip that balance if you introduced different fabrics. As someone else has said save that trip to the LQS for another project!

That is just the right touch for that quilt. Love the brown border!

I think you ought to keep what you have- and still go shopping! It really pulls the quilt together in my head. Someone suggested a gold/yellow binding- I think that would be perfect!
