    I like Corky's idea (2 posts up)
    There just seems to be enough pink in the quilt. This tones it down.
    Show us when you are finished with it!

    My choice would be brown as the inner most border (to contrast against the pink) with the butterflies outside of that and then bind with pink again.

    Neat quilt!

    I like sumcoop's idea. I think I would put the brown next to the quilt if you want the cornerstones to stand out, then the white butterfly, then the pink. Otherwise, it is pink against pink, and while it shows up the cornerstones, it doesn't do the rest of the quilt justice..........IMHO

    Beautiful quilt top.
    I like #3 but I would the brown thin strip nearest the center to break up the pinks.

    Also use the brown for the binding.
