This is my somewhat scrappy/organized quilt I'm making for my husband and I. It's a woodsy theme...I still need to sew all those squares on but that's the layout. I'm going to be putting on an additional smaller border, then the final border will be about 5 inches finished. Was just wondering what other people think would be some good colors to use for those? Thanks for your opinions!

Types of themed fabrics I used for the squares

What I have so far. This is more true to the colors...just some people might not want to download it :)

Colors look a little darker then they are actually

Narrow border of deep rust to contain the color with a wider border of the pretty green, then a binding of a bright print.

Your quilt is a very nice use of a panel. I like the different patterns around it.
