    I think the sidewalks give it a lovely, lacey look. I love the colors. It's a beautiful quilt. If it would still be large enough, I would eliminate the light border. If you need to make it bigger, you could decrease the size of the light border and add a darker border to it.

    Beautiful quilt. I would definitely bind it in the darker color if you don't change the border. The border looks great to me. You did a fantastic job on this quilt.

    Beautiful, I just love that fabric and the pattern, I like the border the way it is, you don't want it to dark, it is a very striking quilt.

    Fabric is too light to be a 5 inch border. A narrower light and then a wider dark, maybe?

    It is gorgeous. It is almost luminous. I probably would have put an even wider border in the light. Love it just like it is.

    I think it's beautiful. Peggy is right, a larger dark border would really look great!
