This would be my choice as well.

To see if you like what I have suggested, line the green, roping and then green up on one side and see how it looks. That's what I usually do to visualize how it will end up.

I was typing while you were posting.

Love the green border then the roping. Do the darker gold as the binding and the grassy(?) fabric as the backing.

I agree, green then rope!

I would use the green, then grass fabric (I know it is for the back) for the second border. Then I would use the rope fabric to bind the quilt, maybe even cut it on the bias. If you wanted to you could even but a strip of one piece of rope in between the green and the grass.

And yes, I change as I go, which is why it takes me forever.

Love the horse blocks!! I'd do green first to help visually keep it going.

Green border and then the rope border. AND do not change your mind.

Yes if there is a way to screw up a pattern it will happen to me. So my pattern always changes. I agree that a thin border of the green and then the rope fabric border,and then binding it with the green. Nice job.
