If you cut WOF, there would be more of a matchine problem. I cut my borders lengthwise whenever possible. Like the straight of grain to contain any stretching.

I second this. With this print any seams will be hardly noticeable....you could do them either way and it would work out fine.

At a recent guild meeting the ladies showed samples of multiple borders on a quilt - it didn't matter if the borders were cut lengthwise or width-wise - they would stay flat as long as all were cut in the same direction. If one was cut lengthwise and the other width-wise, there there was some rippling.

Lengthwise is less likely to stretch and get ripply or wavy.

Lengthwise is stronger and doesn't stretch as much as crosswise.

I would vote for lenthwise. I'm *guessing* that your going to have multiple repeats of the fabric on at least two sides, and if so I don't think matching the sides to each other is necessary at all. Do you plan on mitering the corners to match top to side? If so, you'll need a bit of planning for that (and I don't envy that task!). A way to get around matching the top/side seams though is to use corner blocks. Is there a block in the quilt you can repeat?
