    I like the green for the border as it frames the whole quilt.

    I like the first one -- inner green border and ducky border on the outside.

    I prefer the green narrow border and duckie outer border, but the other way would work, too. I do think the green looks better than the blue from yesterday.

    I hope you don't feel bad for "not listening," we're all happy to spit out our opinions when asked (and sometimes when not!), but in the end we can all make our own decisions for whatever reasons we want.

    I think the green kinda seperates the blocks = green thin border then print.... Cute...

    Another vote for the first one! Dark green next to blocks, the finish with ducks.

    I like the dark green as the outer border. When you put it on the inner border, that is where my eyes stopped and I didn't notice the other border.

    I really like the dark green addition, it does 2 things for me: 1) it ties the red/green/yellow color theme together with the border, and 2) it helps the green in the ducky print pop, which in turn ties it together with the rest of the quilt.

    IMO, you have a winner!

    I like the narrow dark green border but sorry, I'm STILL not a fan of that duck fabric at all.

    I didn't vote previously either but, when I saw it, I wondered why the ducky fabric. It is a darling print but I'd save it for another project. And the green is kinda stark. Do you have a brown or tan blender that would compliment the squirrels? Are you going to put eyes on the little critters? This is a cute quilt though and you've done a great job on the blocks. Love your choices there.
