Your border is great, but not on this beautiful dresden plate. It looks good to the navy around it, then the other colors draw attention away from the center plate. Try making your colors blend more by picking up some of the colors in the dresden plate prints. They don't have to be plain fabrics, but use some of those colors.

Nothing goes together. The dresden plate doesn't go with dragons, the green and blue border does go with anything, and the flower in the middle does to with dragons or border or dresden plate. I would finish it as a cuddle quilt and give it away, choose different fabrics and start all over.

I agree...the border is too busy. The green needs to be muted...maybe switch to the color of the dresden mixed with the Navy? ...Actually, I'd go with a plain Navy border, or the light blue. You want that center to pop, as it's so pretty!!
