If you haven't started the borders yet, try a green flange sewn in when you add the rose fabric border. It's much faster/easier than a separate border. Cut the fabric 1" wide. Fold in half lengthwise. Pin or glue raw edge to the edge of the rose border fabric that will be sewn to the quilt. Now you have only one seam to sew instead of 2. Easy peasy!

I have been bordering quilts about twenty five years and find the border is always a good finishing touch. The best I have found are a color in the top already and maybe one of the same color but darker as using light green and a darker pick on this quilt. Good luck it's a beautiful top.
