This is a table quilt I'm making for my DD. I can't decide between these two borders or does it even need another border??I could use the brown or green fabric for the binding and forget another border.What do you all think?

I really like them both, but would probably go with the first.

Your quilt is beautiful. I like the second one, it matches the sashing and pulls it all together.

The green border ties it back to the sashing and looks very good. The brown border looks better because it is darker. Either way, it is a work of art for you to be proud of.
