    I concur the center portion is Ocean Waves. Regarding a border, I don't think a print is in order. The quilt is all done in solids and it would continue nicely with a solid border as well or pieced border done in the R W &B solids. It is a beautiful quilt.

    Maybe a sawtooth border done in red and off white to match the center would look nice. Or simply a thin border of red followed by white and blue. I think it will need some auditioning. Honestly, I feel it looks pretty good as is right now with no additional borders.

    I'm not seeing the print border either. I think I would just add a small white border & bind it in a small red and white print & use the print on the back too.
