LOL, I feel like the odd man out. But I like it with the floral. Changes it up a bit, but stays in the color scheme. I don't see why things have to be all matchy matchy. I think it does go together. As far as not fitting with the feel or grande scheme of the quilt, who says it has to stay squares? I say you matched it on color it doesn't HAVE to match on pattern. Thats what I love about quilting. Can't wait to see the finished quilt. It is beautiful what ever you decide, she will LOVE it!

Do like your quilt, but I wouldn't use the floral for this quilt either. Don't know how much of the floral you do have, and can't see enough of it to figure out the repeat - but from what I can see - I bet you that your floral fabric would make a knock-out OBW or Stack 'n whack"! I think that the quilt can stand on it's own without a border - unless you need it to make the quilt a little larger.
