The piece border is the one, but I do think the green would be the divider color. Beautiful work

It's the pieced border in my opinion also. I would bind in the green. I think it's lovely! What a family treasure you are completing!

Good Morning,
This is a BEAUTIFUL quilt. Just darling. IMHO, the edge looks best with the triple scrappy or no border.

Now I will look at everyone else's opinion.

I also agree with this idea, I love the pieced border, but the added solids will make it look fantastic.

I love the pieced border. Not sure about that butterfly with all the circles though.

Your first presentation, the pieced border, balances the composition and frames it beautifully. This is the 'coolest' SBS....

The pieced border looks gorgeous and will finish it off beautifully.
