Yes, I just thought it was too bold for the border and not the soft look. Maybe a small border of your bunny fabric before a larger border of something simple and soft. Something more to give you food for thought.

I really appreciate your honesty. The same thought had gone through my mind at first (the border fabric being too dark), but I really wanted to use it. I didn't even think about using it for the back. The quilt is for my daughter (she's 3 1/2) and I knew she would love all those bunnies on the wall. I'm going to listen to my "little voice" and your opinion and just use this fabric on the back.

So problem solved on which way to face the bunnies! :) Now I just need to figure out what I'll do for borders.....
