this one gets preittier every time I look at it. So soft and feminine. No border. just bind it.

I think adding borders to a quilt just makes for a perfect ending. I always border my quilts.

I also think it needs the green or maybe a medium to dark pink then the rose print.

I agree here - add 2 borders; the thin green one - and then therose patterned shown. It will be a wonderful quilt when finished; it is already as far as you've gotten!

P. S: What pattern is this beautiful quilt made from? I love it!

The pattern is Cottage Romance from the book Better Homes and Gardens Scrappy Quilts. Lots (29 projects) of really nice scrappy patterns in the book.

I vote for a thin green border then the roses, and green binding, (I use the darkest fabric in a quilt for the binding to keep your eye in on the quilt, it acts as a frame)

I agree that a solid thinner boarder and then the flower boarder, then a binding would really set your quilt off.

I like it with the border. Just frames it all in.

cream or off white boarder that is in the quilt top.
