    I like #3 but no cream between the rust and the green and make the green narrow and the rust wider. That being said, go with what YOU like.

    That would be my choice. I would use a narrow green, 2 to 3 inches, and then the rust 5 to 6 inches. I would probably use 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.
    Me too!! :D

    I agree, a very wide border, otherwise. The quilt is beautiful and the rust border really does compliment the quilt. Love to see the finished quilt.
