    So many choices when it comes to borders, but I think I would do a border just like the the quilt....solid, floral, solid.....with the first solid smaller/thinner and bigger as you go out...1.5" green, 3.5" floral and 5" green....just my opinion on the borders, but a great quilt!

    I would float the quilt with the background (white), then the accent border of the green and then finish it with your print. Play with various widths until you find what works for the 10" border.

    Thanks to you all, I've finished adding the borders. Went with white, green and then the floral. Will either bind in the floral or pull the rust/red from the floral and bind in that depending on what I back it with... might go with the rust/red in a marble or frost, or stick with white. Just have to see what I find this weekend. Then it's off to the LA'r next Monday. Not the best picture, but here it is. Again, thank you all for the wonderful ideas.[ATTACH=CONFIG]518276[/ATTACH]
