I agree with the others. to busy on the borders. what about a darker blue (sashing) around the outside about 2.5 inches then a light blue (about 4 to 6 inches) depending on the size of the quilt.(the same color as your sashing) I think that would not take away from your wonderful quilt

no Tartan it has to be that wide to make it fit. i dont have enough of anything to make another border. but while i was doing dishes i just ran in here wiping my hands on my shirt and thinking hey! tell me what you think a cream color border would look like with some appliqued flowers, etc here and there on it would look like? im taking the binding and scrapping it like the quilt so i will bring in some outer color. whatcha think???? a woman's best work is while daydreaming out the kitchen window! okay well this might not be a good idea but i can throw it in. your ideas are all fabulous thank you so much!

I think either print could work if you put a brighter, stopper border between the last blue strip & either blue fabric you show there. I would go through my stash & look for all yellow, orange, red, bright purple fabrics you have that could be a stopper border. Put that strip between the center of the quilt & then put your two fabrics on the outside. Do you like any of them? I have to back off about 10 ft to really see how the finished quilt would look. Up close, a lot of them look good. lol
Copy your pic to Paint program and play with colors.
You can choose a color and edit that color so that it's lighter, darker, more luminosity...whatever!
I do this all the time now and have great fun. ( Thanks to Rose_P).
Only problem I have is that I keep changing my mind about what color to use. LOL.

Hi,
Your quilt is beautiful, good job!!! I like the border you selected (1st pic) and I would just add a small 1 inch inner boarder to frame it a little more. Maybe in white or pink. Regardless, your quilt is beautiful. You are so close to done and you did a super job.
