Zozee came up with the same idea I had. "All kidding aside, I'm thinking the sky blue border first (narrow) then wide golden border to brighten the whole thing up and draw the eye from inside to outside, and bind in forest."
It's a stunning design but it's dark and the first thing I noticed was how happy my eyes were to see the blue. so, not too much...a small flange almost and then onto the gold. and keep it simple. you don't need anything 'different' at this point. You need it done so you can free yourself for more creative projects. But remember, your time with this little quilt hasn't been wasted. Each time you've wrestled with it and puzzled over it, you've deepened your creativity and opened up a bit more as an artist. This was not time wasted!!
