If you check out Missouri Star Quilt company, I believe she has a video on doing a scalloped edge.

Boy that is really beautiful! I think appliqué and scalloped borders would look stunning, but even with straight borders and appliqué stems and flowers it will be a real show stopper!! Well done! This quilt is on my never ending bucket list to make!

I LOVE what you did with the sections that come together....using the same beautiful little flower material. I can certainly see why you fell in love and don't want to part with this amazing beauty! I've never done one, so I really have no experience with borders for this. But, whatever you do this quilt will be a sensation!

All you have to do is cut the top background 1/2 way off so that it's straight and then add your border. I've done it lots of times.
