Is this too dark?
I just completed my first official tshirt quilt top for my neice. Now I get that these are just tshirts and they won't be "pretty", but I am wondering if this is too dark. What do you guys think? I bought some batik for the narrow 1" inside border, but it doesn't show up like I had pictured. What do you think - should I take the borders off or just leave it as it is?

This weekend I had a similar situation. I made a mini quilt that I color coordinated to a dark batik. I hated the way the batik looked, but I had committed myself to not purchasing any fabrics for this project. Suddenly I added a bright blue binding and it pulled out all of the light colors in the batik instead of the darks. Maybe instead of the blackish border you can add something bright like the blue in the bottom center. Great job, by the way. I love the quilt!
