    I would add borders from the colors in that little top until it becomes the size I want it. Very pretty.

    I like the idea of a narrow pink border and a then a wide blue border using the fabrics already in the quilt. I wouldn't use the flower fabric as a border. It would add a little interest as the binding though. Your quilt is very nice.

    Susie-susie-susie (great name bu the way!) I agree with you totally. I love the idea of the flower fabric as a binding. And using the other two fabrics as borders.

    I think this calls for a pinwheel border and then the floral....takes a little more time, but would be fabulous.

    I really like the pink but then I like brights. If you are not into brights, the blue would be nice as well but I do agree that it should be basically solid. Very pretty quilt.

    If those are your picks I'd use the pink and swirl, and not the flower at all. It doesn't match the theme of the quilt. If you want a brighter look I'd go with a strip of aqua then a binding using the yellow polka dot.

    You could also do a strip of the pink, then the check, then the polka dot, then the swirl. At this point a wouldn't introduce a new fabric because what you've used goes together so well.

    Love the pattern!

    I agree with a darker pink for the border, if you can find one.

    Exactly what I was thinking too! Glad I read thru these
    You could then cut out a couple of the white flowers and applique them on one corner!
