I prefer the blue to the outside near the binding. The lighter color looks odd out there by itself. I like the first half wayyyyyy better.

I really like your original fabric, maybe with a narrow brown border first...

I like this idea. The plain brown is okay, but so predictable ;-) and just the print is too busy so irishrose's idea is a perfect solution!

We dissent together, Irish Rose - I agree with you.

I like irishrose's suggestion; but in the long run, you must go with your own instincts and with what is practical concerning size and the fabric. It will look great no matter which way you do it. It's a lovely quilt.
