I would put a boarder and than maybe scallop the edge, good luck let us see when completed.

I also prefer the small green border and then the larger floral...just beautiful!

IMHO, I agree that a green border will break your pattern and allow your floral border to stand on its own. However, I think it should be half the width of the floral border so it isn't lost in all the floral prints. Thanks for trusting our opinions! lol And, thanks for sharing.

Depends on what you need for the size. If it's as big as you need I would just quilt it.

I would add the border then bind with the pale sage fabric(?) I see within the quilt. Good luck with your decision Best Stitches

I agree, maybe 1 1/2" (cut) green border & a 3 1/2" (cut) outer floral border would just really set this lovely quilt.

I like quilts both ways and this would work borderless unless you need to make it larger. Lovely

I think a solid pink or green border would be really nice. something solid due to the quilt being busy already. good luck it is beautifil.

I agree whole heartedly! the narrow green will just frame out and set it off, the 2nd border will just finish it out!
