I think the quilt has enough white I like it better with green and floral border.

I think I agree with Jingle, the white border first then the green, then the floral. It is a very nice quilt, and nicely done.

I don't care for the white either, I prefer just the green and then the floral on the outside.

I would not use the white border cause it takes away from the center that you have worked so hard on
I would use the floral next to the green so that the main part of the quilt stands out. I thank that you have worked to hard to just over crowd your work.

I would leave the white border out of choices. I think it would detract from the lovely center.

I think this is good advice. Sometimes you need a little time to "digest" before you decide on a border. Beautiful quilt!
