Default I would like some border help please

I made this Diappearing Hour Glass with the intention of adding a 5 inch gold border. After finishing the center I decided that the gold border would look kinda bland, so added a 1.5 inc red inner border. Which would look best now, gold border with green binding, no gold and just either green or gold binding on the red?

Such a pretty quilt. I love the red, gold, and green binding. So, so pretty.

Very pretty Christmas quilt! If you are attempting to get to a particular size, then certainly add the gold. If you are not concerned with size, you could easily just go with the green binding and call it good. But I do think the gold certainly adds to the quilt.

If you use the "manage attachments" button instead of the "insert image" button your pictures will only post once.
