from what I can see there isn't much difference in the the greens. It is very attractive quilt and the borders frame it and say," look at me". It would be great either way with or without. By the time I get that far I'm sorta tired of it and the thought of adding 3,4 or 5 borders wears me out but they really do look nice on a quilt and if it doesn't make it too big for your use, go for it and put those borders on. It is so pretty.
