but its going to my sis-in-law for Christmas, it still needs border and am unsure which color to use. Any advice would be great!

what a pretty quilt... I would do a rose color ....:-o

Hey, I have a name: Mine! I love pink and greens together. It's a nice job.

Looks very pretty. Do you have any of the rose pink color that's in the flowers? Even if you just did a narrow in a pink and maybe came back with a wider in the floral and bind with green. Many times it is what I have enough of that I use for my borders.

Very pretty. I like Gayle's suggestion for bordering and binding! :lol: :lol:

I like a narrow cream colored band, then either the pink or green ...which ever you can match better.

I also like Gayle's suggestion. Pretty quilt by the way!

What a beautiful quilt for your SIL. Maybe you could call it,
her Flower Garden? :D I would trim it first in a narrow
green band, with a cream then a rose color. Whatever
you choose will be pretty. What is the name of your block?
I love it!!
:D :D :D :D

lol Thanks!

yeah that does sound nice, i'll play and see what I have. I do have the yellow and pink larger print but I'm wondering if its too much and create a busy look?

Sulabug this actually was a mystery quilt a while back. I took the day off today due to my MS so I decided to get off my butt and do something instead of sulking. Glad you liked it!

Rose, definitely rose!

You might want to try a narrow cream or pink border and then try the floral. Anything you decide, I am sure she will be thrilled.

I think rose would be pretty. I absolutely love your fabric. Wonderful quilt.

I agree with all, rose it is!

This quilt is gorgeous! From a newbies perspective I would do green, cream and then rose. I think I would make them gradually wider as I went.

The designis great,it actually reminds me of wrapped hard candies or something.... lol, ,may sound weird, but it does.

Very nice job, I am sure the recipient will love it!

Very nice!!! Absolutely love the fabric.

Wow -- that's really beautiful!!

Maybe a small band of the rose or cream and comeback with a darker green.

great quilt.
display your quilt with borders in a mirror if you can. Or take pictures and view the different colors. you'll be amazed on how it looks. And then make your choice. I hope this helps.

I like your choice on the border quilt nut. I am looking forward to seeing it finished up. Nice work for a mystery quilt.

Very pretty! Lucky SIL she will be thrilled come Christmas :D

Very pretty! How about a thin rose border and a wider cream like the flower background color?

Oh, so pretty, she'll be thrilled. I like Jim's Gem's idea.

Very pretty!! Your sis-in-law will absolutely love it.

very pretty...do you hear an echo? :lol:
She is going to love it. It has roses, beautiful blocks, will have a great border, bc you'll do well, and given by a great SIL! that's a great gift :wink:

It's really pretty and I'm sure whatever you decide will be just wonderful. It's so nice to get opinions and see what other ideas are out there.

Neat quilt!!!

Yes, I think putting a cream border on it would really enhance the green, then bind it in rose, like everyone else is saying. Very, very pretty!

Quiltnut I love your quilt. What pattern is it?

I think a rose border would look great. And you could add maybe a flange of the taupe/tan. Good luck, can't wait to see it finished!

Flange?

Yeah, you take a one inch strip of fabric, fold it in half and place it between the the top and the border (positioned the same way you would the binding). When you open up the seam there is a quarter inch of fabric showing in a 3-D effect. Can be quite stunning.

Thanks gaigai!!
OK -- that's sounds neat!! Will have to try it!!
