I agree with Ranchwife. The green border is the only thing I would change as well. It really is a beautiful quilt. Good luck with the benefit!

I think it's a beautiful quilt. If you don't like the border, remove it and bind it in blue. The green just seems dark compared to the rest of the quilt.

Nice pattern. I also think I would just remove the green outer border. Maybe use it for the binding.

It is really a very pretty quilt. I, too, feel the outside border is too dark. Other than that, it's a keeper in my book.

I think the yellow would look better also. The green is too bold.

Beautiful quilt! I would bind it in the green. Only needs a touch of the green, not a full border of it.

If you have the fabrics left over, try auditioning them in different order. You might find that will help you settle on a happier ending.

I also didn't even notice the green border until it was pointed out. I think a much narrower green closer to middle section would be better or just take it out. Otherwise, you've got a great quilt!
