It's fitting, though, b/c it's loud and scrappy, just like them!

I would use the solid green you have used in the quilt already and then add a wide dark brown border to frame it. I hope you do not give up on this quilt. I like it.
That's exactly what I was thinking then I read your post.
My DGS is 7 he says will I make him one just like it.

I like it! Please don't give up on it. You might try a neutral border,like a med. taupe,either blender or small print and then a dark border of one of your colors in the quilt or multi colored binding. Quilting will make the difference. :thumbup: Edited to note* If you decide to gift it to someone , I promise to finish it and cherish it.Just pm me.
