This is such a beautiful quilt. I don't think I would have the patience to work on something like this. I admire you.

That is absolutely gorgeous!! So much love and care went into each seam, one can tell! I think a boarder of any style would frame it nicely. If it were me, I would do maybe two solid boarders. But but someone else's suggestion of a pieced boarder might frame it even better. My big question is, how are you going to baste this?

I personally hate basting.

If it's done would you post a picture?

You posted this in April 2013. Im still looking for her finish with her borders. I hope I find it.

Stunning quilt, I think the simpler border would allow one's eye to just feast on the awesomeness of this quilt.

BTW, the quilt is wonderful.

This is what I would do. Strip piece the 3 suggested borders, miter the corners, and only have to sew it once to the quilt. Would be gorgeous.
