I vote for the gold with green binding. Beautiful quilt!

Definitely with the gold border. I love the three colors together.

I think the red border makes it very holiday ish. While the gold and green don't. But I do like either of them. Either one would be pretty.

My thoughts exactly! Go for the size you want. It is pretty with the gold or without!

There is something distracting with the gold border, maybe it is just me but I rarely use a light border in the framing of the quilt. So if you don't need it for size, I would not add the gold, just get it quilted and put on the green binding. You did make a marvelous selection with your Xmas fabrics.

Beautiful quilt! I think either of your choices would work well. The red border looks just perfect, and both the gold and green....and the just green... look good too. I know, no help at all. It is going to be wonderful, no matter which you select.

I really like the red/gold/green combination. Whatever you decide, it will be wonderful! It looks great so far!
