    You could do a piano key border using both colors.... I like both ;-)

    I would do a narrow border of the blue and a wider border of the brown. Love your fabrics and colors:)

    That would make it look sharp. I like both also.

    I think you need a 1 inch cream/white border to isolate the points, then the brown.

    I like the blue best but incorporating both would be nice.
