Please help us decide on a border
My Mom (vivnme) just finished this quilt and needs help deciding on the border. The quilt is a gift for her 26 year old neice.
She needs about 20 inches of border and she doesn't have the color that is around each block. She has a rope border shown in one of the photos below, it would be made with all the fabrics leftover from the quilt. I have shown the border with the thin strips that I like but I think she would prefer one with the thicker strips. We don't know what colors or sizes to use.
What should she do?

IMHO: I would first make the braid - then add one of the creams to both sides of it. Then I would audition the remaining pieces to see what to use as the "first" go round (which goes on prior to the cream/braid/cream section). I would also make the binding with the same piece that went on the "first" go round. (In the meantime - I would scrounge around to find something close to the color of the sashings - because that's what it's really asking for.) But that's just my humble opinion... HAGD!
