I was going use narrow brown boarder and next on a little bigger with blue on left and umbrella fabric as the last at 5 inches wide. The quilt is for a twin bed and with out boarders it is 56x56. Thanks for your help.

Guess it depends on whether you want to tone your quilt down with the brown, or really make it lively with the wide umbrella border. I tend to lean towards the traditional (brown).

I think the brown should be your large outer border, and I think a smaller strip of the blue would make a great inner border. I don't like the umbrellas with those blocks.

I would use blue first border, brown second border.

I agree with the others. Nix the umbrellas and do narrow blue border and wider brown one. Will be lovely. show us when you finish. :-)

Thanks everyone, I have enough blue for small and outside boarder will be brown. I am glad I ask. I show pictures when I am done. This is Bonnie Hunter's Star struck.

I love that umbrella fabric, I don't know how it would look on the boarder though. I would add the umbrella to the back. I can't wait to see it finished.
