The batting and backing have not yet been trimmed, and I have plenty of room I could add.

Colors of the quilt are pink and green both bright. These are susposed to be the main colors, but yellow is also a dominant color. There is also blue, orange, red. Main part of quilt is loud and busy. Border is made up of 5/8" dark purple, then 1 1/4" green, and 1 1/4" pink.

I am thinking of making the pink about half the width, and adding another 5/8" purple, then 1" green and do the another fabric as the binding. I am still unsure about binding fabric. It might be a pink/red with yellow dots (a fabric not in the rest of the quilt).

I have also thought of doing a patchwork binding using several of the fabrics. I don't want anything too busy. I think less busy in the border/binding helps the quilt.

Also a problem with adding more borders is I don't have the fabric I used for corners and in middle of the borders with me. So maybe I should just do binding without adding more borders.
