I will second Mom-6 suggestion of using a dark green. I think it will calm the busy of the pattern but pull the quilt together. Very nice fabrics- great price, too.

I think I would go with something more solid. Just my $0.02 worth.

I agree with others that you will need something to tame down the busyness.. fram each block with thin strip of red and then put smaller border before you put on the border you picked out. Will be waiting to see the finished product. Very bright and cheerful!!

How about a green that matches the cherry stems.

What great fabric! I would go with a sashing. My first thought was deep red, like cherries, but I also like the idea of a green. This is going look great & I can't wait to see it together!

I agree with several others that a solid or something that reads solid would look good for a thin sashing and also a thin border before putting on the paisley. Fabrics are great.

Red sashing might be fun too.

i agree, someone else mentioned red, I think that would be super cute.

whatever you decide tho I am sure will be great. :-D
