I've got a yellow brick road I made with lots of pastel florals and can't find a border print either. I'm tempted to not put a border on it. What about that?

I LOVE all the different ideas and suggestions. I hadn't thought of putting a multiple border on it, but I really like that idea. I'll audition several of your comments....but am leaning towards a dark purple 1-2", and if I have enough maybe piece all the fabrics inside together, followed by a final border of the dark purple or green. Thanks for showing me your mother's ybr quilt Teapots & Quilts, - I love the colors in that one too.

Keep it bright unless you really don't like bright. I'd suggest a turquoise, maybe a plain fabric in the lighter color of the turquoise if you want to soften it but keep it bright. Or something that is in the green color harmony like the lighter color in the print. Definitely audition some choices.

I like the bright colors. Can't wait to see what you do pick.

I've made 2 yellowbrick roads as babyquilts and didn't put a border on either. They both turned out very cute.

I agree with debcavan on using a red border. Your quilt is very nice by the way.
