Wow, great quilt! It deserves a special finish....I'm in agreement with all the others. Definetly the narrow dark next to the quilt, then a wider of the light brown or creme. Can't wait to see it finished!

witout looking at the other's comments- I agreed the same- small darker border, then wider lighter border.

gosh, we all think alike.

Beautiflul quilt--and I believe you got a consensus from the board of how to border it. If you ever need an opinion--this is the place to go!!

Welcome and please introduce yourself so we can get to know you better.

It's going to be lovely no matter how you finish it! What a show stopper!

I'm agreeing with the answers here:

Thin dark followed by wide tan. But I would probably also add another dark on the outside. I like my borders total width to be the width of the block. I think it looks more balanced (but that's just me).

That is one beautiful quilt top!

Very Nice!

I'm a beginner and new around here so I'll just say I think the advice here is right on! How cool to get to ask other quilters.

Great Work! :D

What a beautiful quilt!!!

I agree with everyone. The dark color for a smaller border next to the quilt top. Then whatever lighter fabric for a wider border next to that.
