Plain chocolate brown with big feather or swirly quilting = rope like pattern around the edge?

I think I would pick one of the dark browns you have in the quilt and try to find a solid brown like it and use a very narrow strip then perhaps some of the blue you have in the quilt in a narrow strip next to the brown. Maybe even use brown like in a tut I saw of Sharon Schambers as a cording like for the binding or in the border, go to her site and check it out. Just type in her name in the search and she has a lot of tuts. I think something plain since there is so much going on in the rest of the quilt. Don't detract from the quilt by using a busy border.

Nicely done.. I agree with the plain border ideas

I think it needs a very plain border, a blender fabric or batik! :D

Have you considered using a deep burgundy as the frame? I love the way this quilt looks as if it is on fire.

I think a small dark brown and then a light orange

Maybe try something like a Moda Marble in one of the brown shades. The quilt is really lovely!!

I would probably audition a rich medium brown for a narrow first border followed by a wider rich darker brown as the "frame".

Will be interested in seeing the final results. Great work...I love your placement of the log cabins blocks.

Your quilt is so beautiful, don't distract with something so obvious, I would like a plain dark brown frame.
