Borders for Sunny Side Up

This quilt has been sitting on the counter in my sewing room for several weeks.  The top was pieced but it needed borders.  I was considering a couple of options for the borders but couldn’t decide whether to play it safe or use a little brighter green in the middle border to give it some pop.  I ended up going for the brighter green and I’m still not sure it was the better choice.  I like it well enough though so it will stay like it is.  It took almost as long to cut and piece the borders (over 6 hours!!) as it did to make the quilt center.  The back is pieced, batting is cut and it has moved on to the quilting pile.
