    The flowery border adds something to it. I like that one. At first I was going to say the binding would probably be enough but you changed my way of thinking.

    Beautiful quilt. I like the light brown border and darker binding would work well. More borders would overpower the design.

    Glad a decision was reached. Had an enlargement been necessary, I think a tiny, (like a flat piping)in the red, with the green border would have been the popper which would have set the Dresden vine border apart, complimenting the center fans.

    I like the first border with the larger scale prints that pull all the colors from the center of the quilt. We had a speaker at guild that said she always pulls the color of the center to the border. Makes sense to me.
    The green border fabric is the same scale as the one next to it and seems a little boring having only one color in comparison to the larger scale print.
