If I could've sewn the border all in one treck, it would have taken me at least 3days piecing, then one good day sewing together into border pieces. But when I miss cut a strip of the background fabric, it removed itself from the whole border. I then had to decide what to do. I turned to white background and made two corners with the white, the other two with the original background. It doesn't show well color-wise, but the background fabric is the faintest of light blue with small pinky-red roses in bouquets. The accent fabrics are a deep pinky red, and a varied green hand dyed fabric. The green also has splotches of yellow and sky blue in it randomly in the fabric. I did not cut around them but let them happen where they would. But yes I believe it to look very Christmasy.
Thank you all for the kind reviews and for viewing my quilt.
