    Hot pink (the color of the butterflies and some of the flowers) flange, then narrow black and then a final 3 inch hot pink.

    I agree with the thin black border then any other color from the quilt.

    DO a 1/2 inch border in the black, then a wider outer one in the pink.

    black is what struck me first and maybe the green, black and hot pink or the butterfly pink if you want a little softer
