I like the pieced border, but if you don't want to do all that work - I think the lavender one is nice too.

I like the pieced border with a thin border of yellow before and after. Please make sure to post a pic when completed.

I do love this quilt. The whole thing has been labor intensive. But, it's worth it. I auditioned some fabrics based on the recommendations and chose a few of my favorites to post. Is this what you all had in mind?

Oh, and I don't have any more of that green. I have a yellow green print, lots of yellow print, lots of purple print, and enough of the pink/yellow on cream floral to do a narrow border all around. Of course, it wouldn't hurt my feelings to have to purchase some more reproduction yardage if I need another color.....

The pieced border by itself would be perfect.

The pieced border sewed next to the white border would be very pretty. I would bind that with a small pink floral or make a scrappy binding with different fabrics used in the quilt blocks. It is beautiful anyway you finish it.
