I made a peacock stack and whack out of the very similar line of fabric and I used the long unbroken floral border. You can see it if you search under" peacock stack and whack finished:. I even used more more strips of fabric to make it wide enough with mitered corners. I thought it turned out fairly okay. I really like those colors. They sing to me and you will love this quilt. That is very pretty.

That particular border fabric is stunning ! Show off its beauty in running it the length around the quilt with mitered corners. It will perfectly frame your stunning quilt.

I use the length of the fabric all the time, I prefer not seeing seams in the border. Your quilt is going to be just stunning, the fabric is out of this world.

Gorgeous quilt. Unbroken border fabric is my vote.

If you have to piece the border cut the join on a 45 degree angle, it will be less noticeable.
