What a lovely quilt. I think I would do some applique but not all the way around the quilt ...just around two corners that are opposite each other using the green that is in the quilt as the vine and leaves and some of the colors that are in the blocks as flowers. I like the design of the center flower so might make several of those in different sizes and use them in the two applique corners. Can't wait to see the final piece.

The large qhite border with purple binding on the scallops will look very nice with some feathers quilted in it following the scallops. Another idea is,,,swags. Have you thought about doing some swags along the white and then match the swags loops with the scallops bound in purple?

Have you tried the green or the lavender? I was also wondering if you had tried more than one size flower appliqué? Mostly medium with a sprinkling of larger and smaller? It is beautiful and I love your colors!
