Your quilt is beautiful! I'd buy a raffle ticket on it!!!
I think the dark blue would make a nice border. I am particular to flying geese. You have so much going on it the quilt that maybe just a plain border would set it off nicely.

My choice would be a dark fabric for the border. There's a lot going on in the quilt and a dark (reads solid) border will let your eyes rest.

Beautiful quilt. I agree -- dark plain border would be best. Congratulations on a job well done and best of luck on the raffle ticket sales.

You could just bind it as is. I think that last border you have on now is really nice and could be your final border.

Exactly what I was thinking!

It's a lovely quilt ... bind it the way it is now.

I like the dark turquoise fabric and think it would make a nice border, then use a dark blue for the binding. And I would buy tickets, too.
