I agree, I like the idea of a yellow, it would look nice with the brown

I agree about the brown, itjust does not work. I would try to find a blue that would compliment both the flowers in the print and the blue in the outer border fabric. If you don't have something in your stash, then be sure to take your project with you shopping!! Blues can be deceiving.

I vote for yellow too.

I vote for the lilac one!

Anything but the brown! That beautiful, flowery fabric deserves to be surrounded with a happy color that brings out all the other colors. Good luck.

I think sage green would be "safe" but I'd chose periwinkle blue. Great fabric, btw.

There's a folded quilt peeking out behind the one in question. Do you have more/enough of the yellow that I see on that one? I'm partial to blue but it would need to be the "right" blue to look good on this quilt just as just the right brown/yellow that you've opted to change.

I like the grey(?) or dark blue but definitely not the brown.

I think it is because so many of the other pieces are dark (the very dark brown, the deep jewels, the bright flowers) it makes the light brown seem out of place. Perhaps a darker brown tone on tone or small print to break up the solid. But something quite a bit darker.

My choice too.
