I think it is too busy also. I would make a wider solid borderand attach it next to the reddish one you have there.

I like the busy border. It looks great.

Opinions?????

That green is gorgeous! The other is a distraction. I love the quilt so far. froggyintexas

I prefer the green. The other is too busy and pulls my eyes away from the main part of the quilt.

The brown looks ok, but the green looks great.

While the green looks good, I really like the brown. It makes the quilt look more "Gone With the Wind-y" IMO. You can't lose with either one, it's a lovely quilt.

I like what you have done BUT why not do a 2 1/2 in. wide solid then add the beautiful print in the same size boarder? If you had to you could add a 3rd 2 1/2 in boarder like in a solid pink BUT whatever you decide, I'm sure it will be great!
