I also think the blue solid in the border complements the hankies. But like cjsews, I think it needs to be a softer value of the blue that is in the hankie. Nice idea for a quilt and can showcase special things from the past.

I think your butterflies are wonderful. Since I am used to seeing butterflies during the spring and summer, I would choose the light green thin border to represent the stems of the flowers the butterflies love so much. After that I would select a lighter blue for the springtime sky. The brown border in the second picture looks like autumn to me, and the blue of your first picture and the black in your second one seem too much like storm clouds. Is that too much of "waxing poetic" to make sense?

My opinion only - the blue is too hard/heavy for the soft butterflies. The thin green border really sets the butterflies into a 'garden'. I would try to find a soft green/blue floral, I really like the floral. But I wouldn't do as wide as the blue shown. I still look at that, and could see a very soft pink/green watercolor floral too! Very garden-y.
