Here is a lap quilt that I'm working on. Lots of colors, which I like. Just need to decide on the border color(s). Any suggestions?

Great quilt - love the bright colours - they are so happy :)

I'd likely use the cornerstone fabric (the dark with flowers) for the borders.

That's one of the options I'm tossing around.

Beautiful quilt. I'd probably finish all the way around with the lilac and then use the dark floral for a wider border. Be sure and show us what you come up with. :D

How about a narrow first border out of the black floral and then the outside border out of the last blue in the block or the pink. Very pretty quilt!!

Dark fabric with flowers I think this will make the colors pop.
