I agree with this and with donnajean's post right before this one. It's going to be very nice!

To see if you like what I have suggested, line the green, roping and then green up on one side and see how it looks. That's what I usually do to visualize how it will end up.

Love the green border then the roping. Do the darker gold as the binding and the grassy(?) fabric as the backing.

You might experiment with a slightly smaller green 1st border, rope border then a green border maybe the same width af the rope.

I think the rope border followed by the green would look good with what you have so far.
