I also think the borders should be redone. My vote, remove the first light floral border. It makes it too busy. And remove the Dk Green outer border. It doesn't look like it goes with the rest. (Just my opinion though.) The center is beautiful and interesting. Good Luck.

I like it also but without the green border.

I think you must be fishing for compliments, because that quilt is sure pretty enough.

Yes I too would take the green border off and if large enough just bind it.

I started thinking I was color blind because I didn't see a green border, only blue. But on the third look I saw the green solid border and yes, I agree, I would just take that off and bind it with the blue solid. It's very lovely, by the way.

Oh, leave the floral boarder. It softens the quilt. Very lovely!

How funny, I couldn't figure out what you were all talking about, I thought it was fine. I didn't realize the dark green was an additional border. I would remove the dark green borber as well. It would be fine without it. I probably would have used the dark green as my first border and kept it narrow.

Depending on the size you are seeking, I would either take off the green and bind it; or I'd make the green a skinny frame and then add more floral or blue to get it to the size you need. Very pretty.
