Thin green and then flowered. The quilt has a lot of motion and the border will help to slow it down.

Yes, a nice border will bring it all together.

I love your fabrics and design! Nice piecing too. Add the borders to give it that final polish!

I agree, I think most quilts need a border to stop your eye!!!! Lovely quilt!!!!

Yes for the border. Love the idea of a thin green border and then the border shown would tie the whole quilt together beautifully!

This quilt top really is straight but I guess it is not pinned on the wall very well.

I agree with the 2 borders: small green and the larger rose pattern. This is going to be a lovely quilt.
