I am still working on my appliqué 'Garden Quilt'
 
1 Attachment(s)
this is on going project, has been put aside for months now. It is inspired by my own garden.
In order to fit queen size bed I would like to add another border, at least 5 inches wide. So far I am not coming with any ideas. Should I make another appliqué border or look for a fabric with flowers on it? or just plain white?
any suggestions, please?

You might search for a floral border with the primary colors you used??

I'd find a floral print with colors you want. It will help the project go quicker too~ :)

Solid strips of the yellow and center color checks. Not sure what the center color check is.

Do you have more of the gray/blue checked print in the first border? If so, I'd frame it with a narrow, solid white border first, then add a wide border of the checked print. Would bring the eye out from the center of the quilt, without stealing the thunder from all the pretty applique. Then I would bind it with the same checked fabric and it would look almost like a dust ruffle.
