    That's a great quilt. I cast my vote with the others - like the way you have it with the 2 brown borders. Way to go!

    I agree, I like the idea of a solid border as a frame. After all it is a work of art

    I think the extra brown border would look great.

    I would put the second brown boarder on, I would be tempted to make it a bit thicker.
