Their both beautiful. With the green border the foces is on the blocks. With the Gold border the blocks fade
into the background and the foces is the gold. Just depends on what you want. I think I would just go with
the green border.

I thought the same thing. It would be pretty either way, but the gold border does seem to draw my eye away from the center of the quilt.

I personally like the 2 borders with possibly a 3rd small (1" finished) blue border between the green and gold. Please post when you decide.

No to the second border. The design floats with just the green border...unless you need it to be a larger quilt. To me, it looks like too much of a good thing.

I think just the green. The additional gold borders too overwhelming. Pretty quilt!

I think the whole quilt "sparkles" more with the gold border added. Be sure to show us what you finally decide !
