    I like small inner borders too. I'd do a small border of the dark teal to frame the quilt and then the bright green. The bright yellow is also awesome. We know you Preeti, whatever you decide will look amazing!

    Update - I chose bright yellow. Needed to complete the quilt top today, therefore decided against two borders :-(

    Moreover adding two borders would make it wider than 44" which would necessitate a pieced backing :-(
    It is a race against time. Finished quilt is due July 26th.

    Bright, but either color would be good!

    I also like the teal or the gray polka dot, if you have enough fabric left. Of the 4 options you put up, maybe the green. But I'm not crazy about any of the 4 color options. What about a narrow white border, then a colored one? Is the quilt large enough so you don't even need a border? It will be interesting to see the finished quilt. JCY

    For me the bright green is best. One border only.
