IT IS A LOVELY QUILT WITH A BIT OF BUSYNESS..SO I THINK YOU MIGHT WANT TO PUT A BORDER TO BALANCE IT...WHEN I RUN OUT OF MATERIAL I SOMETIMES CHOOSE OTHERS OR IF I HAVE ENOUGH TO MAKE 2 SIDES OF THE BORDER THE SAME AND THE OTHER 2 OF A DIFFERENT COLOR I DO...THERE AREN'T ANY RULES SO IF YOU CAN'T FIND THE FABRIC ANYWHERE ELSE, GET CREATIVE...I ALS0 USE LENGTHS OF SCRAPES ALL SEWED TOGETHER FOR BINDING SOMETIMES IF I AM SHORT AND IT ALWAYS COMES OUT FABULOUS...GOOD LUCK

Take the quilt with you, match something and make a 2 inch border then with another color make a 4 inch border then bind it with another color that makes it look like a picture frame, it is what i do...wage in the quilt to match the fabric.
