    I think the white looks great. It makes a great inner border. I only noticed the "mistake" since you pointed it out. Great job. I love the colors.

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say use a light pink border and the green fabric for binding. I say this because the green as a border blends in way too much, and the white for the border seems too much. A pale or light pink, or a tiny pink floral on a white background would make a nicer boarder, I think. But that is just my opinion.

    White border - and I don't usually like white. As for the mistake, don't tell anybody, I doubt any of us would have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it.

    I find the best thing to do is put it up on the wall with straight pins - pin in border options and walk by for a few days changing as you go. You will end up with only one obvious solution in the end. The one that finally makes you say "I love that!" That usually comes to me within 24 hours...
    I agree :)

    Yes--that's how I was thinking, too. I feel the white needs to be the same fabric as what's in the top. It looks like gardens and lattice--so pretty! I'm using the same green in a project now. :-D

    Small inner border in pink. Then larger one in the green and bind with the green. It is best not to have any of the same fabrics touch anywhere at the sides as you will lose your quilt pattern.
