I agree with Lori S, I think it wants a dark green strip, then the border. The greens in the center don't appear to "connect" in the photos. I do see some green in the border, just not enough.

The light inner border simply doesn't appeal to me, at all. I agree a dark green inner border would be good . . . or just the printed border.

I like the border print without the light smaller border. Everything in the border print seems to be in the quilt blocks and pulls it all together.

The light borders aren't adding anything to my eye. I'd maybe go for the metalic flange (last photo) if you feel like you need something between the blocks and border fabric.

I like the one on the left, 2nd. row down...in the first lot of pics. Just the border print.

I like the one you posted on #6 post. I think it is perfect for your beautiful quilt.

I like that look too. The panel has a built-in narrow border.

Unless you need the size I would skip all the borders except for a skinny one to sew binding to. The quilt blocks are very striking alone and the border will add more design. To me that takes away from the quilt blocks as a whole.
