Borders on two of my blocks for my green version of 'Tis the Season

Finally got some borders on the blocks.  I have bought more variegated yarn, so will be able to get back to stitching the blocks - only 3 to go.

Not sure whether to stick to these two colours or put more greens in.  Haven't had the chance to look at how other greens will work.  I'm happy with the look of these two.

Green has never been my colour, so this has been a challenge.  I think it will look ok!

Cheers

Green is my least favorite color. Although, I love it in nature.....I like the fabric you used. My Daughter loves green so she'd like this quilt. Do you have plans for the two quilts?
