IMHO, I like the pieced border best.

Depending on the size you want you could go without the added border or with the pieced border, but I would not add a narrow strip of any colour. I like the continuous scrappy look. Great quilt!

Pieced border all they way! Very nice quilt!

Such a pretty quilt! I would 'frame' the quilt with a small strip of a solid color...green...as someone else has suggested and then add the pieced border. I think that would really finish off your beautiful quilt!

I love your use of the irish chain for the setting of the sues, one of the nicest sun bonnet sue quilts I have seen very nice, I like the pieced border without adding any other inner or outer borders. Such a beautiful quilt already I can't wait to see it finished!

I think the pieced border will be over kill...you have a ton of movement on there now...it needs a quiet spot...or NO border! I actually thought the purple print was stunning and was just right amount of color & activity to calm down the quilt. IF you go with a solid border, move the butterflies out to overlap into the border. they are just too much where they are now!

How beautiful! I'd do the pieced border.
