    I like it without the additional border if it is big enough for you.

    Either border would be quite pretty. I think I prefer the first one though. (This would be the brown border) Bind in the green

    H'mm. Before I register a choice, I would suggest you place the topper on the table where it will be used. Then you can see which looks best. If you or your DD decide it should be bigger, then you might want to use both the brown and the green. Seeing it in context might make all the difference!

    If the size is alright, I would not add another border, just a brown binding. It is so beautiful as is, it does not need anymore.

    Both work well, but I like the first one :)

    How about using the green as a border, and then binding it with the brown?

    My pick is the green border. It just seems to fit in with the rest of the quilt.

    I think I like the second (brown) best. The other is just a little distracting from your feature work. Great quilt!
