    What she said. It looked beautiful to me when I didn't notice that the green border existed. If you were going to make any change, I'd vote for a thinner binding of that dk blue in the center instead of the thicker green border.

    I'd take the green border off and use it as the binding...I really like the quilt "buy" the way

    I didn't notice the green on the outside, I think it's too much. Take it off and bind it!!

    I'm with QuiltnNan, I didn't notice the green border. I would just take it off. Otherwise the quilt is pretty. It just seems to me the green just doesn't go.

    I guess your ugly is beautiful to someone else ... ME ... what is not to LOVE about this quilt. Leave it alone.

    I agree~~~

    I agree with the others- the green border is what is throwing it off for me. If you dn't need the green border for size, I'd pull it off and use the dark blue for binding. If you *do* need it for size, do you have enough of the fabrics to insert borders before the blue floral? I really like that as the final outside border, and would add the small yellow/florals as inner borders, and still bind with the dark blue.

    I agree on I love the center but the flower border might be to much. go with a solid. maybe a darker blue that the light blue strip you have now. look good.
