Quilter: First of all want to say that your quilt is truly gorgeous, the colors are truly my favorites. The fact is, when I saw your border fabric I really had to laugh. Your quandary is so similar to mine. If you closely at my project you will see I have used the border in both the paper pieced center and the thin border around the center. I'm not making my quilt longer but I am thinking of using the non-floral strip around my center with either a black or a blue border on it. Just can't figure out if it will be too busy, I truly want to stop the eye at this point. The other option is a simple one color border to stop the eye and save the border for another round. Not much help, but I do keep coming back to the idea of a solid line. I think yours would look marvelous with a solid black frame all the way around and either pieced blocks on the ends or just the border print.
