    I don't think a border should be only to frame a quilt, it should enhance the quilt pattern.

    I agree with Mike's girl. Your top is lovely as it is, but the green would add a little more pop.

    I agree with the lavender.

    Agreed. Perhaps a thin (1.5 inch) green and use the floral for binding?

    I am NOT an expert at borders, but I weigh in with lavender on the outside and the same green, but smaller, in the center would also be good on the outside. IMHO.

    I would probably use green for the outer border. It's a pretty quilt top.

    Oh this sounds pretty.
