Any suggestions on a border? Thanks for looking.

I think it would look super, framed with a border using the centre dark fabric, or something similar, a dark toned one will really make the wonderful fabrics pop. Just love quilt but I am biased as I am a huge D9P fan

WOW! The fabrics are gorgeous together! I guess you could use just about any of these colors for border and binding, although the black might really make it pop?

That is a stunning quilt. I wouldn't put any border on it unless you need it to be larger. Bind it in the same black you used in the quilt. Or if you need it to be a bit larger, use the black and then bind it in batiks -- pieced together every 18-22 inches.

Beautiful quilt and beautiful fabric. I think at least a small - 3" or so black border would really set the quilt. It's amazing how simple patterns can really "sing" with the fabrics you choose, but I have always loved the batiks, need to get busy and make my Boston Commons in all batik fabrics.
