This is my 4PP, Panda Sunrise. I am happy with the 3 borders so far, but I had planned to add a wider final border of the original fabric.
Now I am thinking it looks very busy and detracts from the center panel. Perhaps another black border like the first one would be better and I am binding in black.
Here are photos showing the 3 borders it has now, and the original fabric added as a border.
Opinions please....

I think a final black border would set it off very well. Nice work!

I would take the green and pink off ....I would do a thin strip of orange then another black then the original fabric and bind it with black.....just my thoughts....whatever you do will be very pretty

Can you give your reasons for removing the green and/or pink?

To me I don't read to much of the green when I look at it so for me I would leave it off.....the quilt has a lot of pink already and by taking it off and adding more black border it would frame it....I just feel the pink and green borders are competing with the center for the eyes attention

Ummmm....I think there are too many borders the same width. I would cut down the pink and green to narrow inner borders, then do a wider one of the print. That should solve it.
