Lovely top and great job on the PP. Gorgeous selection of fabrics. With that black some of those colors positively glow. I like the green border although I think this quilt looks quite nice with no border at all.

That is a beautiful piecing job, Pam! Never seen one like it.... I wouldn't hesitate to piece the green/brown border fabric. I do it all the time because I rarely have enough to make those long cuts.

Can't wait to see it finished!

I vote ​green too. Awesome job on your first paper piece quilt. Paper piecing is something that you either love or dislike alot. I love it. Hope you enjoyed it too.

I concur with the opinion that the green border is better.

Got the green border on, now to figure out what is the best plan for quilting it? I’d love any suggestions...

I always piece my borders. Cut WOF and piece on diagonal if necessary.

Beautiful! Love the pattern and your fabrics. The darker multi fabric on the right is my choice for border; I don't see the yellow/gold at all.
