I agree. I think it needs something to liven it up a little.

I'm leaning toward the blue, but I am a blue person.

I agree with this 100%. That would make it awesome.

I recently bordered a CrossRoads quilt with HSTs out of the leftovers - It turned out real pretty I think the zig-zaggy look will work for yours

I personally like the blue, however, you could do brown on 2 sides and blue on the other 2 sides. Very nice quilt.
