Need suggestions on my 'ugly' quilt... please.

I like the center also and agree that the borders need to be different. What about taking the green outside border and moving it next to the blue border and binding the whole thing with the fabric that is between the blue and green border. To me, the green border gets lost and all that is seen is the blue and floral border.

It's Not Ugly!
Same here.....I had to look again.....love the quilt but agree the green would look great framing the center but I bet your Aunt and Uncle would be delighted in whatever you decide! What a great gift!

***Update***
Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions..... most were in agreement with me that the borders needed to be re-done. I am very pleased with the revision and ready to get this baby quilted!!!
To the poster who "instructed me" how to apply borders so that they would not be wavy.... ..... With the first picture, I did not exert much effort to assure the quilt top was straight on my design wall..... Guess I was not expecting a review by the 'Quilt police'.

I absolutely LOVE the quilt now! That yellow border adds so much to the quilt and really makes the yellow triangles pop! Such a pretty buttery yellow to boot. Very nice and not at all ugly anymore! Good job!!
