I agree with IrishRose... beautiful quilt :thumbup:

I made a decision...I am going with the solid brown. If I use the print I have to cut up a lot of yardage to get the exact border repeated. I might have enough to put it as the backing. And adding the brown and then print will make it an odd size quilt. I will post a picture when it is done.

I really appreciate all the imput. It surprised me how different it looks in the photo too. There isn't any green in these blocks, but they sure look like it in the photo.

I think I would choose the brown, as it gives your eyes a place to stop so they are all on the quilt itself, which is beautifuly, by the way.

I like the print border as this will pull the blocks together and pop them. You already have a lot of brown, do you really want more?
