    This is what I thought too. I know you didn't ask for border opinions, but if adding borders is an option, I'd add a white border and dark binding. If not, I like the white binding.

    I like this idea as well. Or just the darker binding.

    The inside border is light. The light binding will make the quilt be cohesive in the way the color travels.

    Exactly what I was thinking-for the border. Then darker for the binding. The lighter border makes your eyes keep moving back to the froggies instead of just stopping. The darker binding puts it all together and frames it.

    This is actually what they intend you to do with the kit (it didnt come with instructions, just pieces of fabric with labels of "binding" "border" and "backing". Originally I didn't like the look of the wide borders on the sides but I am actually liking it more now that I see it with the borders. The fabric they give for the binding is the same green as in the top
