Can you add another row of hexes to be the jagged boarder?Here is an example: http://badskirt.blogspot.com/2010/05/tutorial-finishing-you-hexie-quilts.html
Or you can lay a straight boarder of any width, say a 6" boarder, and applique the jagged hexe edge to it using a hand stitch, invisible thread, or a blanket stitch. Here is an example:

It would help if I saw a picture of your quilt.......
I have done both of these ways to border GFG quilts. I prefer appliqueing to a straight strip, then appliqueing flowers to the border. I like keeping the hexies "whole" rather than lopping them in half. The first example shown by Jane Quilter was the most difficult for me for some reason. Also, there is no rule that says you have to use one color for the center of the flowers, or using one row of hexies around center rather than two. And if you have made the quilt "scrappy" different whites should be fine also. Would love to see your quilt top!
