Beautiful, love the fabrics you chose. If the braids not matching bothers you, you could put a narrow, 1.5 to 2" sashing to make that less obvious and if you used a black sashing it would really let your braids shine. That's just my opinion, but I am partial to batiks and black. You could use a black border, but maybe you should sit back and "punt" (my term for letting things settle, think about them, then make a decision) for a couple days, then decide. It is a beautiful quilt.

My quilts talk to me all the time.
