It's a beautiful quilt, and I think its workmanship deserves to be framed by borders that will really show it off. I think I would lose the green and the floral borders, and add one made of the darker blue solid, width perhaps that of the floral plus half the green.

Love the quilt . Your relatives with love it and appreciate the love and care that has gone into it for them. They will treasure the quilt and probably need it as soon as possible and not become fanatical about the borders.

BluegrassGurl: I agree with you, put the border down you think best-look at it then walk away for a while; come back to it and then decide if not try with another border (this is what I do when I am undecided!) .. let us know what you decide

I agree with faykilgore, I love it as is minus the dark fabric, that to me is what is the ugly factor. If you feel it NEEDS the dark fabric, I'd put it in closer to the main body eliminating it together and binding it with the green or either of the lighter blue borders.
