I like it fine. Maybe if the skinny border were dark brown that would show it off. PS I know almost nothing about quilting and less about matching colors or doing anything with colors LOL, but that's how I see it. I'd be delighted to have it whatever border you choose.

I'm not wild about it either. It may have been OK for a narrow stop border, but I like the burnt orange you've used. If you have enough of the print in the lower right corner, I'd audition that, otherwise, I would go with a mottled brown.
I really love the rest of the quilt. Very manly. Well worth 'putting up with you' for 8 years!

I do like the border as shown; the color and the scale of the print agree with the fabrics of the body of the quilt. If you'd like a bit more dramatic look you could trim this border by about half, more or less, and add a wider border of the dark green. I would not like the dark green instead of the print, however, as it would be nearly up against too many of the green blocks near the edge. I'm looking forward to seeing your final choices.
