Sorry to be so needy, but I don't have that color wheel - now I understand a bit more about the green- got to do with that color wheel thingy. :-)

I agree with a narrow burgundy boarder and a wider boarder. The floral would work or something else. What are you using for backing. I ususally try to do a binding that will work with both. With this fun pattern, I may do a mixed boarder with the 3 fabrics you use in the block. I like to use up my extra strips that way.

great quilt top. Like the burgandy, and like the idea of a double border with small burgandy and floral. I'd stick with one of the fabrics already in the top for binding and find that if you're not sure, using the same fabric as the outside border works well.
