I see this quilt with a green border on 2 sides and an orange or red family on the other two sides and no white stop border. When I am questioning which color or how many borders I will like, I lay out the fabric in the width that I think I would like for the border right next to or slightly underneath the completed top and take pictures. DON'T cut anything until you make a decision. The pictures really help me see the whole quilt and make a better decision. If I don't like any fabric I have then I take the pieced top to the fabric store and test fabric colors there. I still take pictures & view those before I make the final decision. NOTE: If you do decide to take it to the fabric store, I would think about running a staystitch around the outside perimeter. That will keep your outside seams from coming apart. My stay stitch line is about 1/8".from the outside edge.
