    If you can find more of that light fabric, it's in the top/left block between the two greens. Make a skinny border with that then a wide border in that brown to make it the size that you need. If it is already the size you need then I agree with QuiltnNan and bind it in the same brown.

    I do think a print border would be much better. Perhaps a floral with coordinating colors.

    I also think a brown paisley would set it off, but nice with out a border also

    I agree, I think a piano key border would look great and be a ton of fun!

    Patti - I really like the quilt - it looks great! I personally love borders because I think of them as a frame - so I would put a border on it. I would go simple and if you have enough of the brown, bind it with that.
