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.

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.

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.
