How about two different backgrounds? The green with the light churn dash. Something lighter with the dark churn dash. The bird fabric is so pretty.

Loving what you have done to border the birds. I would have done something plain and boring. I like your idea very much. Cannot wait to see the finished project

IMHO, that would be good, but ultimately, the quilt needs to please YOU.

I have some of that bird fabric, it is very pretty. I just made my daughter a tablerunner and potholders out of it. I like how you framed them.

I love your colors. Don't think it's too dark at all. Love the birds too. Beautiful

For me, the green is too dark. IMHO, a lighter color for that part of the block would show the birds better. When I look at the block, the green is what I see first, it dominates in my eye.
Think a batik-like beige or tan to pick up the background of the bird fabric would work and recede so that the birds become dominate.
