    Please help me out--I think I like the dark side closest to the quilt the best, but wondered what the rest of you thought?
    Thanks!

    Blue side in

    brown because of the contrast with the thin blue sashing

    I think brown side in seems in keeping with the general flow of the blocks.

    I like the first one. Although, both of them are really beautiful! :?

    I like the dark to the outside, but I'd really like to see a narrow dark brown frame first, then the border with the dark to the outside.

    I like the way narrow dark frames stop the eye and mind from wandering and contain the colors of the quilt.
