When I first selected the material for the border, I was going to use plain sashing, or no sashing. I agree that now the border looks too 'busy' with the busy sashing.

I do not want to buy more fabric and I only have one matching brown fat quarter left. I will bind it in the busy fabric, but from what has been suggested, I thought maybe a pink piping just inside the binding will help break up the white. I have lots of pink. Hub likes pink!

I will use the busy border fabric for the backing.

Thanks all for weighing in! Much appreciated.

Wow. Gorgeous. I want to see it when it is done! Pls post final pix. I would probably say... Without. Black border maybe?

Without the border and would do a dark binding. It is gorgeous.

I would use the white as a border. Wouldn't overwhelm but would finish it and make it a little bigger.

I like it without also. If you want it bigger use white border. It's very beautiful! Good job!

Very pretty and your points match perfectly. I would skip the border. I think the fabric is too busy. I would be great for the backing though. If you need a border to make it bigger, I would go with the dark fabric.

I also like it with the border. IMHO it will make the runner stand out instead of blending in with the cover! Let us know what you decide. i

I would try out the fabric of your posts for the border. I think the fabric you've chosen for the border is too busy. just my opinion! you've done a great job.
