The quilt is beautiful. I personally like the darker pink setting triangles. Sometimes, if I'm having trouble, I'll put a small, 1" or 1-2" strip between the quilt & the border. That seems to "stop" the eye for a rest & then I'll add a border. When I do add a border, I try to use a fabric already in the quilt. Either way, I wouldn't give up on this beautiy. It can always be given to someone who is in need of that beautiful work. Keep on quilting!
