What if you used a moderately-narrow, brown border first - to frame your beautiful work, and THEN put the original fabric as a slightly larger border and then bind in a thin brown binding ....

I love to see the original fabric along side the composite pieces; wouldn't want to have to turn it over to get the impact .... Someone not familiar with the technique would lose the total intricacy/concept of the varied blocks ... and the workmanship involved.

Just one opinion .... ;)

I personally like the octagon blocks. I can't tell you why but I do.
Have fun and it will be great however you do it. thanks for sharing and asking. :)

I would do the print with the circles inside and then a larger boarder in the brown and then bind it in brown.

I like the brown line too!

I think the octagon print and then a brown border around it.

I agree with Irish Rose. I think the brown strip makes it.

I think the brown shows off the blocks better

I so totally agree here.

Also - I am partial to the fabric placement on the left - The repetitive rectangles closer to the Quilt form a visual line and to my eyes looks better closest to the quilt.

I like the brown.
