    I agree with DogHouseMom.

    I love the panel border. Pulls the colors together very well.

    I love the look where you skipped the skinny borders and just put the panel right next to the quilt. This is quite a lovely quilt! Sometimes when you want something to be perfect, it can be hard to decide. But the panel fabric already has a thin border included and is a lovely fabric too!

    Just my thought, but why not use the darker green for a small flange before the wider print border to give the eye a quick resting spot?

    This was my thinking as well.

    What about a skinny black border next to the blocks. Might make them really stand out.
