I like the purple border best, it doesn't take away from the pretty blocks.

The great big flower border!!! No doubt whatever. The purple border doesn't do a thing for the quilt. The small flowers speak too softly. And the big flowers - perfect. What beautiful work you did!

If you do not need it any larger, I would just leave it without borders.

If you do need to make it larger, I would go with a solid border and put a pinwheel in each corner. Or you could piece the border with a light and dark fabric to extend the pinwheels.

The floral fabrics are pretty, but detract from this quilt.

I agree, this is beautiful without a border and the printed borders draw your eye away from all your gorgeous pinwheels.

I would defiinitely use the large flower. It brings out the colors of the squares and enhances them. Also, it softens the geometric design of the quilt. But I would cut off the small band on the side closest to the quilt. IMHO.

That quilt is gorgeous. Well done! I like the blue print border.

I love your quilt. What an amazing job.

I would choose the dark one with small flowers. It compliments all of the pretty pinwheels. What a beautiful use of scraps!

I would use either the solid or the small flowers fabric. I think the other overwhelms your gorgeous quilt.
