A thin rust boarder followed by a blue one. Beautiful quilt.

Too many pages of comments and not enough time to read them all, so someone may have already said this...what about using a narrow border of the gold, then a wider border of the green print, then bind it with the rust? I like the way those three fabrics go together and pull out colors from the quilt. Putting the green print right next to the quilt makes it blend in too much. I think it needs a more solid color to separate it, but I also think it needs a solid to "end" it, so binding it in the darkest of the three works for me. Please show the finished picture when you decided!

I think the rust helps balance the strong brown,IMHO. Nice top!

Love the scrappy look. I think the rust is a nice color for the border. It makes the blocks pop. Love the pattern also-would you share where you got it? Thanks for any info.
