Thank you everyone for your help on this! I put an updated pic of the borders on page 3. What do you think? I think it would look better with the applique vine on the side, but I'm new to applique and wouldn't want to mess it up.

The applique vines would look great. You can pin them on before you sew to see if you like it or not but... you CAN do it and you WON'T mess it up!!!! :wink:

I also posted "after the fact", and I apologize!
Your corners look way better than I imagined. Looking forward to seeing what else you end up with throughout the black borders.

I think I'd like to try the applique vines and maybe add flowers of different jewel colors. Do you think it would be too difficult to do this since the borders are already on the quilt?

You didn't ask me directly, but...
Having the borders already on might prove to be helpful! More to hold onto.
But then, I'm not an applique expert.
Glad someone suggested pinning first, to see how you like it.

I'm just learning to applique. Thank you for reminding me to pin first!
