Welcome to the board!

Nice owl quilt... I believe I'd use the green for the border.

Hi, there. The owls really have commanding eyes, don't they?

I think I'm with sewbiz--green border. It'd be a good frame color to pull out the green that's the least used color in your quilt.

I would use a thin teal border and a brown bigger border to frame the quilt.

I think this too, but I would need to audition it to be sure.

I will need to go shopping with the quilt after I get it together. Thanks for the suggestion.

That’s a good idea. I was thinking something similar but the deep blue in the center and two corners with the starry night 🌌 sort of look. Either way I will need to go shopping.
