How about putting a white square on point...larger. Like you have in the inner border in brown. Just reverse the colors.
To my eye, the small scale of that white square is off... it does not seem like it is relating to the rest of the border treatment.
Does that make sense?
The quilt is gorgeous, BTW! great job and :thumbup: :thumbup: for hanging in there through the tough spots!

No way! Your opinion is valued and appreciated!

I think this is a great quilt and a little skimpy white square would ruin the overall look. So there, now crucify me.

Back to the drawing board. I am trying something dif I think as I do agree the scale might be off. And the white takes the eye from the middle part of the quilt. See I took all of your suggestions into consideration. Every post was read and considered so far. I just might leave it all brown. Maybe change that one corner stone on the pieced border. I can't believe I am fussing with it so late in the game!
