I finally finished all the blocks for my Baltimore Album and after hours of looking on the internet, books etc. I decided make a floral border for it, I now don't think that's the right choice it doesn't seem to go with the quilt, the roses on the center will be red, pink and yellow, I don't like swags so what other choices do I have?

I like the border you chose but find that the scale of the border doesn't match the scale of the blocks. In other words, the applique in the border is too small. It just doesn't look right to me. I would pick some of the larger leaves from the blocks you have already done and use that size, even if it means you have to use less of them. You do have small leaves in some of the blocks, but the larger leaves and heavier flowers are what I focus on when I look at your quilt.
FYI....it is an absolutely beautiful quilt.

If you can. you might head for your local library and see if you can find anything you might think works better. If not. go look at Pinterest. I think it looks find but you are the one who will probably look at it daily.
