Thank you, really really really thank you, ladies. You are saving me. Again. :-D
I just spent a day muttering to myself "brown and boring, brown and boring". Nasty anti-creativity voice! Do we all get this??? I'm so glad a lot of you like my quilt top. I read what you wrote and now I can look at it with different eyes again. Yes it's brown, and I sort of like it again.
k3n, love your idea of the extra skinny dark border. Thank you for that.
Amma, quilting???? Sore point, heh. If I quilt this soon it's going to have to be big scraggly meanders on the centre and small scraggly ones around. :-) I'm only just beginning to practice MQ and I'm NOT handquilting this one. NOT. No way. (Except, if I decide to SID around that skinny border I may, I can do that bit more accurately by hand and it doesn't take too long...) So I may just leave the quilting for a little while until I have a bit more MQ practice under my belt!
Of course I hugely look forward to seeing other people's borders and quilting ideas, I'm sure I'll learn much!!!

Salmonsweet. It could never be boring. I have a friend that would love it. In fact one of my sisters would probably adopt it on the spot. It is brown but there is so much more than that to it.

Thanks, y'all, think I will finish it up just as it is. I see now where I could done things a little different but I'm overall pleased with it. I have four in front of it and since I'm still thinking on the 'how to quilt' angle that's probably a good thing.
Salmonsweet, you really need to focus on the light aspects. To me they beg for the off white and a little brown on the edge to give it depth. It's just stunning.
