I love yesterdays choice! Beautiful quilt!

It looks great the way it is. But if you were looking for a light springtime feeling then a lighter border would be better. Perhaps, as bigsis63 mentioned, changing the inner border would brighten it up.

If this were mine I would agree. Green inner border, the paisley, and then the darker binding you currently have as the inner border. Ties the quilt together as your eye starts at the center, and follows the colors going outward. But, that is how I see it and how I tie colors together. The dark inner border is too bold in my opinion.

think it looks very pretty just the way it is
