Your quilt is lovely and I like brown for the border.

I think the green or a dark brown would work well. I agree with Patched about a small inner border, maybe a chocolate brown or darker green, depending on which border you use!
I wouldn't bind it in white,but it's your choice. Very pretty quilt! You did a great job! Be sure to show us what you decide! :thumbup: :D

That's a great idea and will work well with this because it's a medium color. I like to use medium-dark colors for borders and always a medium-dark color for the binding because the binding will get the most wear/tear and dirt.

Ditto!

Thanks for the suggestions ladies. I don't have enough of either of the fabrics shown for the border, so I have to go to the lqs tomorrow no matter what. I think I'll bring my top with me and audition a few others and see where it takes me.

I would use the brown border and bind it in the darker brown. I think a white binding would be subject to soil too readily. All of your fabrics are lovely.
:-D :D :D
