I think the brown is too busy..the quilt is all pattern material..adding the busy brown takes away from the quilt it's self I think..Maybe a solid color from one of the quilts colors would work better..if not solid a light color would be best with he dark one u already have..

The brown is the right color but the wrong print or look. You don't have flowers in your quilt. Can you find something that goes better with the fabrics in the quilt. I really like the red and brown border, just not the print. The quilt is beautiful. This is my opinion only.
I agree with Dogwood. this appears to be a quilt made for a fishing enthusiast and a floral print is definitely the wrong way to go on this. Color works, print is wrong.

I agree with the brown and a narrow cream or lighter value. But is the gray part of it? I'm not sure if that works. Just saying. It's a beautiful top!

I think a brown would work, but that one seems a bit busy. I would also put a thin 'breaker' border between the red and brown. Maybe bring the red in a bit, add a 1 1/2" creamish and then the wider brown. Or go real crazy and make the red thinner, do same size cream, same size the fish blue and then a wider (but less busy) brown. lots of possibilities.
