I like just the green border, but would bind with the gold.

I did decide to go with the green only as Judythesewer and Luv Quilts & Cats swayed me. Once I backed away from the quilt the blocks really do stand out with only the green and since that is where all the "hard" work is I want it to show.
Thanks for all your thoughts and suggestions.

Just the green with green binding, is more pleasing to my eyes

It is nice either way but I am glad you went with the green border only. It is much more stunning that way.

Either way looks good to me. For me it would depend on if I wanted gold to be the main focus----depending on the rest of the room. The green outer border gives it a more generic color look.
