I really like the way the brown border and the blues and golds work together. The brown seems to tone the blues down. I would also bind it in gold.

Stay out of the store!! Your border really looks great!

I like the border, it's a great combination for the main quilt. I'm not sure what you mean by heavy though? Are you asking if the border is too wide?

Of the original materials I either couldn't see them as a large border or there wasn't enough.
Should I go to the store??? I only need about 3 yds. Thanks ladies MaryKatherine All your opinions have been very valuable. MK |
I love it and it grounds the quilt.

I like the border you have chosen and the selvage on the fabric shows how good gold binding would look. Great looking quilt.
|
Definitely love the brown border. Makes the other colors pop and provides nice contrast. I think a blue border would be a bit dull. Small gold border really frames it nicelyl!

I too like the border It makes the center brown block stand out more but if you want to bring the blues out more then choose something to go with those.

I like the color but I think I might make it a little narrower, to echo the shape of the blocks more. But colorwise, it's great!
|
I like it, too!
