    It is beautiful and I bet it was a lot of work to make. Use pink or whatever color makes you happy for the border. Great job on this.

    I would put a narrow border of the same green that is in it, then a wider border of a darker pink.... or else reverse those colours... it will make the green pop..... pink is in the red family and the opposite to red on the colour wheel is green... pink and green go really well with each other....

    I agree... you can never have too much pink! I think I'd put a narrow gold/yellow inner border (to match the yellow/gold in the quilt) & then the same pale pink for a wider outer border. This is already beautiful... I love it! It looks vintage... right up my alley!

    I would try to pull out one of the darker colours for a border, but I would audition before choosing. It will talk to you when you have the right colour, but I do not think I would use more pink.

    I love it. a pink, purple, or cream border would work if you choose to add a border. but it is stunning as it is. :-)
