Oh my that's gorgeous!!
I haven't read the replies, but I'd definitely do a first border in the dark brown. If you want one border--I'd make it about 3-5", but if you want 2 borders, go narrower, like 2" with the brown, then add a wider tan one.
That's my 2 cents. :wink:

You have a very lovely quilt top. All the suggestions sound good. I know I'm of no help. Layout the fabric you have for boarders next to your quilt. Let them talk to you. Play with them. They will speak. :D

cherry, I'm thinking a thin dark border followed by a wider one in the cream of your center blocks then some vine applique. Check out your local library to see if there are quilting books about borders available. This quilt seems to want something special as a finishing touch.

Lovely quilt! You could even do two borders of the dark and a light in the middle with your quilting in the light border to accent your stars. I did that on a Dresden plate that i made years ago and that gave it a nice touch. Just another idea. but either way its still beautiful.
