We had a family movie night last night and Diary of a Wimpy Kid wasn't quite holding my interest, so I pulled out a TV tray and finished cutting a few more squares for the crossroads quilt. After that is needs a solid border, any opinions on which green? So far I've asked three members of my family and gotten three different votes. I'm leaning toward the medium green at the bottom, Kurt wants the dark polka dots at the top and Sydney likes the bright green to the left. I think about 6 inches should do it and this will go onto the list to be quilted. I seem to be out of light blue thread so I'll pick up a spool after morning carpool. Sand and Sea is next up after that.

Your off to another productive summer vacation. I vote for the darker green.
You are making great progress. My vote is the medium green. The dark seems a little too dark and the light seems to lead my eye away from the center. Great quilt so I know what ever you choose will look great!
I like the bottom green but that is just from the phone picture.
I think whichever color you choose will become the color of the quilt to the observer, so pick the color you like best and use it. The light color is more noticeable and pulls the light limes from the center, but it might be too much of an attention hog. The medium green plays very nicely and gives the center its share of the attention. It's hard to see the darker one on my screen but it looks rather dull and flat - that may just be the picture.
I love that pink quilt more and more every time I see it!
