Here is another "no" vote on the border fabric. It would detract from the pretty center.

Your quilt is beautiful as it is. Your border fabric is pretty, but it takes the eye away from the butterflies and flowers. Perhaps if you look at it a longer distance, you will be able to decide if the distraction is good for the quilt.

Love your quilt and the colors. Not to sure about boarder it takes away from the quilt. Maybe you could use it for the back. Put something softer for boarder.

Thanks every one! I will have to look at it in a smaller strip. I have some black and the lavender left. I think plenty for boarders.

I personally like the piece you have for your borders. Just use a smaller amount in the strip. I really like to see a small strip of background fabric, an equal strip of the pretty border, another strip of background, and then a wider strip of the pretty stuff. I've done this many times and have loved it.

The only reason you think it takes away from the rest of the quilt is because there is so much of it in the same spot. Spread it around in smaller doses and you may like it a lot.

Your quilt is beautiful and of course it is your choice for the border but I am afraid I have to agree with OSewME. It would be too busy for my taste.
