The gorgeous border print that you showed us yesterday - http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...r-t191950.html - that is the stuff dreams are made of. I would keep it in the quilt no matter what. Yes it is dark, but it still goes very well. What if you have the narrow dark inner border (like on this page) then a slightly larger light border, then the border print, and then optionally the green paisley?

I'll agree with Dunster right thru to the dark border print, then stop before her green paisley suggestion (if the green is the mid-green in the centre of the quilt??). Just be careful that you don't get the pink border too wide.

Don't change a thing. I love it just the way it is. It all ties in well together. You got it perfect!!! Don't second guess yourself. If you start doing that, you might not like what you end up with.

The only thing I would do is add a darker binding to what you have because the piasley trails off and doesn't stop the eye from going right off the side of the quilt Otherwise it is wonderful and I wouldn't change anything. Best stitches!
