#1- How big do you want the quilt to be. Adding the gold border will make the quilt several inches bigger. That said I think that it would look nice with a smaller green border (about 1/2 the width it is now) and then the wider gold border. If using the gold border then bind in gold. IMHO

I like just the green in the first example and would suggest binding in green also.
However, if you want it larger, then:
1. Do an 'insert flange' like the second example in post #9 here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...s-t203182.html
2. Follow up with another green border.
3. Bind w/green.

Well, when I first looked at it, my eye was drawn to the center, with just the green border, but when I saw it with the gold, it drew me to the gold border more than to the center. I think I would have to look at it a few times too. I think I might like it with just the green border and then maybe binding it in the gold.
