Several ways to go with this. I find that the tree with the red background is eye-catching, as the fabric isn't anywhere else in the quilt and it is not a busy pattern, Perhaps you could use that if you have enough. As there are many colors in this, I wouldn't stray from anything that isn't already in the wall hanging. You could even get away with a narrow border and then the binding. The light green fabric for the border, and maybe the red(?) in the church door for the binding. This is a wonderful representative of the season!

Hopefully all of these great options encourage you to make several more of this pattern! I would go with a narrow border of the dark green of the trees, then a narrower stop border of red because it's christmas, then a wider border of the green again.

I would probably go with the darker green used for the tree next to the church. It needs to be a color that isn't the same as any of the blocks that would be next to this border IMHO. Please let us know which one you use. BTW, the quilt is absolutely beautiful. I love samplers.
