Quilter65, I agree with jaba, when I look at the block you have next to the first round my eye immediately goes towards it and I miss the rest of the quilt. I think that there needs to be a resting place between the two borders. I might make a round of green to set off the center & then add your next round. This is just my opinion, I'm still having thoughts about what to add to mine, feeling that the 6 1/2" border may be too large for my next border without breaking it up. I don't want my next border to overwhelm my center medallion.
