You made a very cute quilt, it's just that the green boarder is so dark.
Trim it down to the size of the blue boarder or lose it altogether.
I like the idea someone had to make it a yellow boarder.
Don't give up on it.

Love it, it is beautiful. I would not worry about the Quilt Police, there is always someone around to do that, lol...She probably didn't intend for it to sound like She was being critical.Im sure She was trying to be helpful

I loved your original quilt top. Shows how much I know. Your revisions make the top much more striking! These gals really know what they're talking about! GReat job! And I'm happy that you're happy and feeling good about your work.

I realize that I'm way late too the party, but I was thinking the same thing - Where's the green border???!!!

Yes - glad you got rid of the green border - and the solid borders you added make it more appealing to the "masses". Not everyone likes lots of prints, so this will make it better for what you are going to do w/ it.!

Congrats!

I agree. Love it except for the wide green border.
