I'd do consecutive thin borders of green, orange and red, and end with a brown (slightly wider) border)

I would use brown and make it 5" that way it will set of the leaves better. The border would Frame the rest of the quilt.

What if you just put a binding on it, using one of the solid leaf colors?
I have a table cloth just like yours in the background. Found mine for $5 at a flea market.

Beautiful!! Love the colors, and Maple leaf is one of my favorite blocks. I would use a dark border, probably brown, but why don't you make it like YOU want it....? It will be beautiful any way you go. ;)

I agree. IMHO, it would frame your quilt nicely. Thanks for sharing.
