    I would go with another boarder also although I think you've done a great job so far. When you add your binding, a portion of your 9 patches will be gone so for that reason another outer boarded might be nice. Do you have, or can you get, one of the greens you put in your quilt or something the same shade/tint green as is in your quilt. That would look really pretty.

    I like the butterfly print, but it detracts from the rest of the quilt top. If you had used it in the body of the quilt it would've worked as a border.
    I love bright colors!

    I love it with the choice in your last picture. Keeps the delicacy of the quilt.

    Great job! Can't wait to see it finished---

    Bonnie, Your butterflies with black and purple sounds wonderful. I would like to see it. Any chance you can show us?

    I think a green or cream boarder would look great. your quilt is beautiful, and I can't wait to see it done. God bless.

    I am thinking of doing a green in the binding to the front now that would match the green in the quilt. I cannot match it; I have already been to Jo Ann's where I bought the jelly rolls. But plan to look at sheets this next week and see if there is a green or check fabric stores again.????? lol I did sew the last border on and I really like the look.

    I like justs as it is. If you want a larger quilt then go with the extra border.
