    Agree!

    If the quilt needs to be made larger, I favor the brown floral for a border and then green for the binding.

    I like the first one, the top picture. That border shares all the colors of the blocks.

    Definitely the first border. I'm not familiar with the term table quilt. Do you use it like dining room tablecloth, or cocktail table covering, or end table, or cardtable cover? How will your DD use it? I think it is beautiful.

    Tanyalynn, I should have said table topper.Its just a quilt for the dining table most often made in a square,oval or other shape instead of a long rectangle like the table runner.

    Thank you everyone for all the help and nice comments.My daughter has decided it is large enough for her table as is so I'm not going to add any more borders.Will just quilt it and use the brown fabric for the binding.
