Thank you all for your input.
OK--I don't think I want to bring in a lot of gold in this border...it was mostly just to be an accent. I thought about maybe doing something with it in the corners if things didn't come out "even" with the "x"s in the corners, but that wasn't an issue.
Pam, I too like green so didn't know if I was using too much.
It would be easy for me to go overboard with it.
jaba--I understand what you are saying. I might cut some gold strips and see what I think. It might not flow right...I'll see.
Maybe tomorrow night I will have a finished top to share!
Thanks again for this project! I will definitely be making more medallion/round robin type quilts in the future!
