That is a better choice, it makes the colors pop.

I hated this quilt prior (see picture of the brown border I started with, it was all wrong for a variety of reasons for this quilt). However, now I am very happy with it! So glad I took the time to change them out. :-)
Turned out so nice with the blue. What dimensions did it up being?
