I like the idea of using white material since the material can be found pretty easily and is affordable.

If you can afford to go to your LQS, take it with you! Everyone in the store will help you find just the right print/color to extend the quilt to the size you desire.

Beautiful quilt so far! I think any of these ideas would work well...so I have nothing new to offer...just beautiful quilt!

I agree with the white on white border first. Then go to your LQS and ask for help finding something for the other borders to make it larger.

I would take it to the LQS and look for a floral that has all three colors.

I would also begin with a white and find something to match the colors that you have for the other border.

If you can't find something close to the same color, how about a navy blue border? Sort of the dark side of the spectrum for the colors you're using. Good luck with your choice. Can't wait to see the finished quilt! Very pretty so far.
