Fresh Lilacs Update mistake
Here is the completed kit Fresh Lilacs, except for the last border. I sewed the right border on and it is not correct, the one on the left is the proper orientation, but that one is just laying there. So should I take that right border off and turn it around? The top and bottom are the same and the corners mitered.

That's a gorgeous quilt! I would remove the border and turn it, since I like the look of the left side better. You've put so much work into the quilt, I would make the extra effort to get the last details right.

I can't decide. I think what you decide to use for the binding would be what would tip the scales for me.
Maybe lay the at least two sides of the borders out and take pictures and then decide? Along with the binding you are planning to use?
At the moment - I think I like the "light edge" facing the edge better if you used a wide dark binding with it.
I love the quilt - my favorite colors are in it.
