I need to make a choice between the Brown border fabric or the red floral for my border. Please help I have had this laying out for a while and I love them both Thanks a Lot

I would a the green at an inch or inch and a half and then the floral

Agreed! I don't see enough of the red within the quilt.

Both are nice, but I fell in love with the brown. It makes the hint of brown in your quilt POP. Good luck!

Too many pretty fabrics
 
I truly understand you problem. I have to say I'd go for the brown and red on the right.

I would not use the floral. I would save that for another project where it can be the prominent fabric in like some kind of block pattern like a cross and chain, or maybe a basket type block.

So many choices, so many decisions, so little time. LOL Please post a picture after you make your decision for all of us to see the colors you went with.

IMHO I would use the narrow camel, followed by the large burgundy floral and bind in the narrow camel. I think the burgundy makes the quilt pop. The camels blend in. I believe I would leave the green out.

I like the one on the left. Great contrast with bringing out the burgundy in your quilt. It is very pretty.
