I cannot do flying geese. After the second one they start to tilt and look drunk. I like your quilt the way it is but if you were to put another border on, I think I'd use pieced stars. (I avoid flying geese at all costs LOL) You've done a beautiful job.

After you have put so much work into your beautiful quilt, don't stop now. I have seen it completed and it was gorgeous. You won't regret doing the extra work.

If you have enough fabric, I think the flying geese would be nice.

I think I see what you mean. I have an idea... why not flying geese only on the top and bottom....little blocks on the corners to control the geese from stealing the show and using one of the tan fabrics for the border to emphasize the scenery. What do you think?
That quilt is beautiful and I love what is happening to the art.:>)

Unless you need the extra width, I think it does not need anything more. I like the border it has currently.
