    I think a bright plain border would make it pop!

    Choose the color you want to highlight in the quilt. Put a turquoise border and the turquoise will pop, or pink, red brown etc.

    There are lots of great ideas here! I took 2 charm square packs and used a DS9 patch pattern as the inspiration. I'm leaning towards a narrow brown border and then probably a wider pink border (or teal). I'll have to see what looks good at the LQS sales tomorrow!

    Thank you everyone!

    Maybe a brown border to frame the colors.

    I like that deep berry color you have in it, up at the top, for the border.

    I vote for a thin dk. brown border, followed by a wide pink border.
