Maybe a little zinger border of black, and then the lightest color.

Lovely quilt! I really like the fabric line.

I agree with some of the others. A black border would definitely look good.

I think the black would look nice. It always seems like the last border brings out that color in the quilt.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I went with the lighter. Maybe a black binding?

:)

I was think the exact same thing. If you want to stick with the greens then the darkest of them.

Beautiful....didn't find one point out of whack! Nice work, beautiful quilt.

thought the medium green would have done the trick as there is not much of it there...would have made it more noticeable... have you tried that yet?

I never look at anyones point..........except of course, my own!! Your quilt is lovely and I think it needs about 4-5 inch dark green for the last border. :mrgreen:

Between the two, I like the lighter also. The other one seems out of place on the quilt. If you want more borders it might be nice to put a narrow border of the light and then add a wider black one. That would pick up the black in the quilt.
