If you use the embroidery, I like the pale yellow background best. I really like the idea of the simple borders you had originally planned, but can see how that embroidery would be hard to pass up. I wonder if there would be a way to do the simple borders and work the embroidery in as part of a cornerstone block? Depending on the sizing of the border, you could use 3 color strips for the border and do a 9 patch cornerstone on each corner with the embroidery as one (or more) of the patches.
I'd say at this point, it doesn't matter what you do that quilt will be beautiful anyway. |
I can't give you any advice about embrodiery or quilting but I want to say your quilt is beautiful. I haven't seen an Irish chain done with fabric like that. I love it.

I'd keep the background of the emb. blocks a pale color, so as not to detract or distract. Also keep the border simple, as others have suggested too. Love what you have done so far!
I have this same fabric, and I love it! I have kept it for a special project, and it hasn't hit me just yet! :) |

I think your quilt is absolutely beautiful just the way it is. I would do a small border with the dark green and the a little larger one in the light green. I think the embroidery is too much and would take away from the beauty of the quilt.
