I would make the grassy border narrower, than add a wider border. I learned at guild that the borders should graduate in width,with the darkest last. Just what I learned and have done on mine.

I don't particularly care for the lighter border around the darker one. I would stop there. But, the smaller dark border with the grass fabric does look nice

Yes, the grass border with the small dark green sashing. That really makes the quilt.

I like the small darker border and the grass - lots of food for the bunnies. I also liked it with just the darker green.

Now you're cookin' kid. That has an entirely different and a more pleasing look to me. But, who am I? You have it just perfect.

I like the thinner dark border if you are going to put on the grassy border

I think using a pink for the border will make it pop. it's up to you.
