Yes, add a thin green inner border, or a darkish pink. Then the rose print. You've done a great job, it is so pretty!

Very pretty. If it were mine, I'd do a green inner border (the paisley if you have more - otherwise a marble) and the floral outer border. Then I'd bind with either the green or a rose.

I second this opinion. Alternatively, use dark pink for the inner border.

I would add a thin border of the DEEPEST rose color then a wider border of the rose print! I always add borders to my quilts. I'd feel naked without them.
