It looks great without any borders! I love it, but have no suggestions to offer you. Great work.

I would pick some of the larger leaves from the blocks you have already done and use that size, even if it means you have to use less of them. You do have small leaves in some of the blocks, but the larger leaves and heavier flowers are what I focus on when I look at your quilt.
FYI....it is an absolutely beautiful quilt. |
Such a beautiful quilt! I like the border you have here, but if you're not happy with it, definitely check out some photos of similar quilts for more ideas.

I like the floral border very much. You did a great job

Thank you all for your input, I think you are right Barb, the scale is small, I think I will applique 3 roses (slightly larger) on each corner and then three sets of roses on the long sides

Wow....i love your quilt. You just inspired me to maybe...possibly start my Christmas Baltimore :-)
Of course this is just my personal take on this and at the end it is your quilt, your efforts, and you are the owner who will be admiring it every day, but there is something about the border that is distracting me from the blocks. I can't really pinpoint but i guess i am seeing a wall of the prairie points that is separating the blocks from the border (clear as mud?)lol Hope i made some sense to you and well done on a beautiful work |
I vote YES for the floral border.

Try placing some larger leaves on the other side and see if the scale doesn't look better. It's a beautiful quilt and a wonderful idea for the border.

the border is great... but put the 'heavy' ends together in the opposite corners. then to tie it in a little more, i'd put a red binding on it.
