Opinion on the border for my quilt here.
#1
This is my first log cabin and second completed quilt top. ( then I got nutty with the fruit one! I am doing a small border of red around my quilt, followed by the darkest green as in the picture. Should I leave it at two? and then the binding should be the darkest green or should I go back to the red, which is the chimney or heart that you call it. Opinions and or advise.

Everyone will have a totally different idea! Do what is best for you.
Something so glorious as your quilt ... I'd let it be itself, and have the log cabins go right to the edge. Skip the borders, and then a simple binding with your dark green.
