    Thank you all so much. You are very sweet, but do you think it is cohesive? I am not so sure I should have used the seperated different greens. What do you think about another border.... anyone??

    that is a lovely, lovely quilt. Very good work!!!!!
    if you need it larger, you could add the softer green print fabric for another border. But i love it like it is!

    It turned out wonderfully. That is the fun of using a pattern, tweaking it to please yourself.

    Another border or borders is up to you. It looks good as is. You can always "audition" borders if you want to make it larger or pull colors from the blocks.

    The pattern is by cozy quilts, called cactus wreath. I had a hard time making it scrappy like they had it, so this is my take on it.

    I hope you like it. I am not sure if I do or not. I changed the cactus flowers and the long wreath sections to create a white distance between the wreath and the nosegay cactus blocks. Also I would like to say, the dark green isn't as dark as it is showing. Sorry bad pic because of the lighting.

    I like it as it is .... Maybe do the binding in the dark green to frame it out.

    Really nice holiday quilt!
