Working on a quilt for my 14 year old grandaughter. It needs a minimum of 7" added to all sides. I've tried all sorts of combinations and can't seem to come up with something that's pleasing to the eye.
The black trim piece is sewn on.
I've pinned fabric next to it to try and get some idea. Nothing looks right.
Any suggestions?
**I've got plenty of the green fabric left and a fair amount of various pinks I used.

1st... I could always remove the black border. I'm not "married" to it.
There is enough of the green left to make a border that's wide enough.. hadn't thought of that.
Still open to ideas. Thanks & keep 'um coming.

I would also get rid of the black. Instead, I would either use the strongest pink you have in your quilt for border and bind it with green. If you do not have enough of the pink left, I would use the pieced border from the picture and bind it in green. For some reason the black looks really strong. Good luck and please post the picture of your beautiful quilt.
