Would you consider a contrast for the piping? Red? Forrest green?

Of those pictured, I'd personally go with the navy. I do think that some narrow border treatment helps define the design, though I guess your choices in how you plan to quilt it would be another factor to throw into the mix.

I love the navy piping. I think all quilts need at least a small dark border to frame them, and then whatever other color one chooses to use just adds to the beauty.

I like the navy, but I do think a dark red would look great too. The beige just seems to get lost except where is is next to the navy.

Okay, I am different and I say no piping, with the beige border and blue binding. I think the beige rows extending into the beige border give it movement. You could quilt feathers down the beige rows and into the beige border.

I'm in the navy group. Great idea - I do narrow borders but never thought of piping.
