I like the gold border it finishes the quilt

LOVE the 2nd border!!!

Tough choice I like them both. Are you going for additional size or just to enhance the quilt? Things to consider. As I look again, I like the second boarder just a little more and more.

Sometimes I will leave it lay out for a day or two and look at it from many angles as I go about my day, but I really would like to finish the top today so I can ship it out to the LAer. Plus that is one more UFO off the "books".

I like it with the gold border-I think it made it really pop!

I like it with the gold border... just made the whole quilt pop... can't wait to see what you decide! Good luck with your choice.

I'm thinking green border with gold binding. I think there is too much gold with the extra border. By the way, I really like the colors in your quilt!

I love this idea.

The fabrics are beautiful and I can hardly wait to see what you do with it. I have read through most of the posts here and don't think you got an agreement but quite a lot of things to think about.

I'm with the "I like the gold border" group

I would leave the gold border off. I think adding the gold fabric takes away from the whole quilt.
