    I agree. I think it needs something to liven it up a little.

    I'm leaning toward the blue, but I am a blue person.

    I agree with this 100%. That would make it awesome.

    I recently bordered a CrossRoads quilt with HSTs out of the leftovers - It turned out real pretty I think the zig-zaggy look will work for yours

    I do that often in my quilts to set the main body apart from the borders. Then put on the color you most love or both.

    I personally like the blue, however, you could do brown on 2 sides and blue on the other 2 sides. Very nice quilt.
