    I love the border fabric you have! I think it will be great, especially if you bind with a darker color (or maybe the green of the inner border). You could also cut the border down in size slightly - maybe an inch all the way around? - which would lessen its effect.

    I think it is lovely, and very cute.

    I like the leaf border. It really pulls it all together.

    Too cute! Do you have enough leaf fabric to do the top and bottom, and then bind it with your green? I personally think that would 'quiet it down' and still get to use the leaf fabric - which is perfect in color, theme, and scale.

    Show us your finished project :-)

    I agree!!!!!!!!!! IMHO the outer border frames the top nicely and tiers all the other colors together! Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The outer border matches the colors in the turkey just fine. Add top and bottom and leave it be.

    I think the border looks great, with all the solid fabrics the quilt did need some color (print fabric).
