Since it is not a solid color but a blend of green and yellow, I'd leave it as is. It looks good.

I'm with the "leave it alone" bunch! It is perfect, cuter than cute, and will be cherished by baby and mom!

I really don't think it is that noticeable. If you didn't notice it in the beginning then it won't be noticed by anyone else. Very cute quilt and once it is quilted I think it will be fantastic.

I don't see a problem. It looks great. I agree with Nancy; once its quilted it will be fine.

go with your gut. If it were me and made me cringe, it would continue to make me cringe. That's me.

I like it the way it is, but if it makes you cringe it makes you cringe.

My recommendation would be to rotate all of the outside borders counter-clockwise one time. That way all of the borders would be perpendicular to the same fabric in the blocks. There's something about the yellow being on top that I don't like. The balance isn't right. I think the red on top might work better.

I don't like the balance of the yellow and blue borders being opposite each other nor the balance of the yellow border next to the green border. What about swapping the blue with the yellow? Or swapping the yellow and the red?

I also was wondering if you took apart the green border and swapped the ends. The longer piece looks like it might be lighter on the top. If so, you could try sewing that lighter end to the shorter piece.

Good luck with it! Love the quilt and how colorful and cute it is!

Another idea....take a picture of the quilt in black and white. See how the borders look balance-wise. Swap them around until you like the balance better and take another black & white picture to see if you like it better.
