    I like this pattern. I also like the color combination you used. The quilt glows. Great job.

    Beautiful quilt. I think a skinny inner border in red (is it red? sometimes with cameras it's hard to tell) wide outer border in green.

    I think your darkest dark for a narrow (your width preference) inner border and your lightest light for the wider (again your width preference) outer border.
    Although the outer border could be the color that you would prefer to go on that particular bed. Only my 2 cents.

    that is so pretty, i would do a one of the white colors so that it makes your other colors stand out and you will be able to see the pattern better, that is a wonderful quilt, great job :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
