Yes to a border. I sgree that a narrow green border and the wide rose border would be beautiful

If you haven't started the borders yet, try a green flange sewn in when you add the rose fabric border. It's much faster/easier than a separate border. Cut the fabric 1" wide. Fold in half lengthwise. Pin or glue raw edge to the edge of the rose border fabric that will be sewn to the quilt. Now you have only one seam to sew instead of 2. Easy peasy!

I think a border would finish it.

I like the border, but I would put a small dark rose color first, then the border. Just my opinion.

I have been bordering quilts about twenty five years and find the border is always a good finishing touch. The best I have found are a color in the top already and maybe one of the same color but darker as using light green and a darker pick on this quilt. Good luck it's a beautiful top.

Beautiful quilt. I love your fabrics. Personally, I think a border or borders polish it off.

Ditto thin green border and then a flowered border or a solid rose border.

That is really great. I like the idea of borders. Maybe a small green one and a larger outer floral border.
