Default This One Needs Borders

Im on a roll since I learned how to post pictures. I wish I paid closer attention to color placement than just the method. This is my first on pointe setting. I need large borders and have no more of any of these colors. Anybody have any opinions?[ATTACH=CONFIG]349857[/ATTACH]

Maybe you could find a stripe or floral with some of the colors that you used in the quilt. I like your placement of the colors.

Buy another white on white, it won't matter if it doesn't match.

I agree with MawMaw. Pick a two or three of the colors you would like to accent and look for another fabric that has them in it. I would go with a floral or paisley, something with curves, since everything else is straight lines. Love the colors! Be sure to show what you end up doing. \

Does it really need another border? What if you ended it now and maybe used a fun colorful stripe cut on the bias for the binding?

I do not like white borders so I think a gold border would look nice myself!!!!!

If you have any fabric left and want the extra work I would make small matching blocks or pinwheel blocks and then another green border.

I would put a skinny (1"?) black or white border, followed by a wider DARK fabric to anchor it ...
