Ahh, this view helped my perspective a lot! Thank you!
Here are the pictures of a few suggestions implemented. I like the thinning of the brown border a great deal. Not quite so fond of the brown on the inner border. What does everyone think? Brown is definitely staying...
My new current favorite with a thinner brown border.

Brown on the inside as a test.

without the brown border it is a much "softer" look. Bold with the brown..... I like contrast, so the brown for me. Either will be wonderful

I vote for brown ! Too much pink , but that's just me. The pink border drew my eye away from the quil.t

Too much pink for me too, personally, but I know that's the kind of look she loves. The brown helps give my eyes a break.

I guess it's a matter of taste, but I'm with you-I like the thinner brown between the beige and pink the best.
It's a beautiful quilt; I'm sure your aunt will be thrilled with it.
