    I think that is beautiful, I agree dark brown would look good.

    Loved your 2 cents worth but I am at a loss to understand what' depth, not movement' means. Perhaps others are too. Could you post a couple pics of fabrics that explain more what you mean. I will love learning from you if you have time. Thanks.

    Great looking Autumn colors. I think an olive green border would look GREAT! If you have that color, I would make it about a 5" border. If not, I would try for a soft brown tone on tone.You did a nice job on this. I love the turning twenty pattern.

    I seldom pick out the border before I finish the top. I have bought fabrics I thought would be perfect but did not look right after the top was put together.

    I think a brown and green or rust would look great, it is a beautiful quilt.

    you did a great job. I think too, a warm brown and gold is a good choice.

    It's beautiful. I would go with the brown and then autumn print border.

    Love the color scheme. I would go with a brown print border and a dark green binding.
