The floral border really finishes it nicely. Without the border it looks like you finished because you ran out of material - not because you designed it that way.

If you have to put a border on, the larger flower (#1) would be my favorite. It would be a little different texture from the small prints.

I'd bind it with the darker fabric and call it a day. The quilt is such a beauty on it's own, it doesn't need a border of any kind unless you just want it larger.

I would use the brown

What a stunning quilt - I LOVE IT!!! I also love both borders...each adds a different look....

I like the look of the brown border better as it is darker and sets the quilt off nicely. It is a gorgeous tablet topper!

My choice would be to leave it like it is, or use the second (middle) border - it brings out the colors in the quilt. The third one is a little bit dull... doesn't do anything for all that beautiful work you did.

I agree.

I like the first but they both look good. What a beautiful quilt.
great job and good colors.

It's lovely as is, but the dark brown floral border really sets it off IMO. You could then bind it in the green. I love it, you have done a wonderful job.
