I am with several of you other quilters--add a smaller green border (same fabric as in quilt) and then add the pink to whatever width you desire. Great quilt in the making!

Beautiful quilt. I would continue the pink sashing first to create the frame and then add a green.

Green to accent the cornerstones, then pink. It looks great!

lime green flange and pink border.

I would fold the pink fabric and lay it around the quilt until I liked the width against the quilt.

The top is adorable!

I would also go with the pink to frame it, then a narrow green border and a final pink or lavender border to finish it off.

The green will bring out your cornerstones.

I do the pink, same size as the sashing & then green whatever size you need to finish the quilt & plaid for the binding! Your quilt will be very pretty!
