Your quilt is beautiful as it is. Your border fabric is pretty, but it takes the eye away from the butterflies and flowers. Perhaps if you look at it a longer distance, you will be able to decide if the distraction is good for the quilt.

I personally like the piece you have for your borders. Just use a smaller amount in the strip. I really like to see a small strip of background fabric, an equal strip of the pretty border, another strip of background, and then a wider strip of the pretty stuff. I've done this many times and have loved it.

The only reason you think it takes away from the rest of the quilt is because there is so much of it in the same spot. Spread it around in smaller doses and you may like it a lot.
