I am glad you found a great way to border this panel. I just used the companion fabric to border it in the shower curtain I made, and used no border on the matching curtain in my master bath shown below. The third and fourth pictures is what I did yesterday. I just put a binding on the tree skirt panel I bought a few years ago that I could not figure out how I wanted to quilt, so I just put a binding on, and might change later. I am open to suggestions for quilting it if anyone has any ideas....
