Need help from my fellow quilters.
I am almost finished with this top. It's from Eleanor Burns - called Gadabout. I want to make it queen sized. I have run out of 2 of the fabrics to add more rows of the pattern so I have to go with wider borders. Do you think this brown and red border will work ok with the rest of the quilt?

What does it look like if you switch the grey/silver next to the red, then the brown? The two darker or richer tones together as you have it now, then the lighter tone doesn't work to my eye. I get that you need the wider two borders, just wanted to see if that looked better. I really like the quilt.You did such a great job on it.
