Your quilt lends itself to some GREAT modern quilting. I would put 2 borders on it. A narrow brown and a wider green. It's lovely.

There is no law that says you must love everything you make. I would just finish it up and donate it. Someone else will love it and the warmth. My two cents worth.

Your quilt is very pretty and I like it a lot. I would go with a white 2 1/2 inch dashing around it, then a dark brown 3 1/2 inch border the bind it in green. You will be surprised what it will look like once it is quilted. The quilting will set your pattern off and display it nicely. I love your quilt! Good luck on whatever you decide.

How about dividing into 2 squares by 2 squares with a bright border, as lap quilts table toppers or 1 by 3 with border as table runner, or just donate it . Some oneelse will love it. Diane C.

I would definitely use a dark border, perhaps a rich batik. I like this quilt and the pattern is very good.

I think the picture is of the finished quilt. I like that kind of quilt. Interesting to look at

It is a beautiful top. Add a framing boarder in a dark grey and then find a bright border picking up some of the colors and it will be striking.

Your first quilt off the longarm was gorgeous and the quilting just made it stunning.
