    I think I would just put the green and the pink borders and leave the print out

    I have made this pattern several times. I use the background fabric as the first border, yours being the green. this makes the blocks "float". I use a 2" first border (green), 1" middle border (pink), and a 4-5" outer border (frogs) then bind it in any of them (I decide after the borders are on and auction the various fabrics).

    Love the print! I don't think you can go wrong with any order!! But my first thought would be to put the print first then the two colors. It will be fabulous any way you decide! Make sure you share the finish!

    I would also do it this way. I like having the darker binding and that the print will set off the pink and green blocks more.

    I concur with this . Or I'd keep it as simple as binding with frog fabric .

    Adorable quilt. I like the borders as you have them laid out.

    I say all three and add one more thin black fabric to frame up the squares. it will help the pattern from bleeding into the border.

    I would like the white first to set off the pink and green. Love your fabric and the pattern.
