I agree, a tan to match that inner border would be beautiful, especially if the thread was a bit heavier than usual.

I have found that a soft gold seems to play nicely with everything, much like the shade of tan on your inner border.

Wonderful quilt. I, too, had a similar experience when I was young. Better to have your heart broken for a little while than to have your life ruined by someone with no conscience.

I was thinking maybe a dark blue variegated. BTW, it's a beautiful quilt. Sorry for your and daughter's heartbreak experience.

Beautiful quilt! I too am thankful your daughter found out about a hidden past before it was more traumatic! You may have to audition different colors to see what you like best.
