    This is lovely! I am no expert by any means, but I'd like to see a white border with perhaps a touch of the same applique more toward the corners, just for continuity. You might find a floral print with the colors you have but you'd more than likely never find a print with your flower and colors.

    thank you all for your good suggestions, I like the picked fence idea and the plain white wider border. Unfortunately I do not have enough of the green/blue used in checkerboard and I am not able to find it anywhere. Thanks again, your all are the best.

    If I did a white border, I would definitely do flange binding with the green fabric in the middle being the thin stripe. Beautiful quilt.
