    Pink or Blue. Those colors seem to pop out at me when I look at it!

    I'd frame it with a thin brown colored strips that you have in the quilt and then audition some of your brighter colors for the last border - the center pink and teal square might be the right look for it

    Really pretty top; love the colors!
    We learned at our guild that our borders should be one of the darker colors. The reason for that is that the eye doesn't see an end to the quilted piece if we use a light color. Having it end with a dark piece, our eye stops there!
    Hope this helps.
    Mariah.

    Narrow dark brown border, then a wider border of one of the brights. IMHO, the brown border will frame the bright colors and focus attention there. Then audition a bright color for the outer border. Very pretty!

    I like the bright aqua, or maybe the bright pink tones from the quilt :)

    The red squares jump out at me. What is the pattern . Is that a disappearing 9 patch. Love it

    I would try for a pink or green that you have in the quilt top. It could even be a print.

    Just my opinion, but I would use a thin brown border and then choose one of your bright colors to finish.
