    The double border idea works for me too, Nancy. I'd make the inner narrower one that lovely dark chocolatey brown to give the eye a place to rest and then a final burst of colour for the final border and binding. Perhaps one of the lovely florals from the D9P.

    Wow! Lot's of different opinions. When you take it to the LQS you might ask the salespeople to help you as well. I've had good results with their suggestions. You might find it easier to decide once you get the quilt top next to some of the fabrics in the shop.

    What is your sil's favorite color? Maybe go with that for the border if it is one of the colors in there. I would prefer to see a dark border, it would really frame it and set it off. You could lay a strip of fabric the color you like beside it to help you see what it would look like. Sometimes I do that and take a picture of it. The picture helps you to determine if it looks good. Have fun!

    I think navy would be really pretty. Don't know if that is even a consideration. Beautiful quilt.
