I strongly favor just the green border with a green binding, possibly in a shade darker. The gold goes with it all right, but it draws the eye away from the blocks.

I vote to add the gold border but bind it with the green. Pretty quilt!

I agree, It looks green without the extra border and gold with it. Both versions are beautiful!

Seems to me there are two things to consider... Color-wise, do you want it to be the green quilt or the gold one. Also, do you need the additional size.

I think he primary color is already the gold.. I would add the gold border, as it is a repeat of the color of the borders of the internal blocks. Balances it in my mind.

Sometimes I will leave it lay out for a day or two and look at it from many angles as I go about my day, but I really would like to finish the top today so I can ship it out to the LAer. Plus that is one more UFO off the "books".
I like it with one boarder - the gold is too much

I like it with just the green and then bind it in gold.

Both are beautiful, question is, do you need it to be bigger or not?
