I love the color green - so I am very biased - I think something with pink/green - small floral would be nice.

Did you paper piece this? Lovely!

Yep, sure did. It's one of Carol Doak's patterns.

I have quite a bit. Would you like more?

I'd match the dark pink for the borders and the back whatever that you've got that has either green or pink as the dominant color.

I was having a hard time picturing it in my head, so I put the green border on. My husband likes it. Here is another picture.

I really like it with the green border. I'd probably look for a small pink & white floral for the backing.

What pattern is that? Is it a free pattern? I love those colors, too. How about a little darker green for the border and something with more pattern but not too large. Use the same for the backing and binding.
