    I agree with his post! It is just too busy and takes away from the quilt. The quilt is wonderful, btw!

    I think with the pattern border matching the inside...the design gets lost...but with the green border....It pops...Just my opinion :-)

    Green is better, and narrow would be better
    Otherwise gorgeous...I love Gone with the wind

    I like the green better. It reads as a solid, where the brown distracts my eyes from the piecing, and makes me think of draperies when I see it whole. The green spoke loudly to me.

    I actually think you could put a narrow border of the brown print and then the green. It would create a wonderful frame for that lovely quilt!!
