    I agree!

    I would go for the pink or the color of the dark squares if they are a burgundy. The quilt is very nice.

    The pink is beautiful, but for me, a pink border would be "too" much. Myself, I would go with that wonderful green, but I just like that color. I agree with a small dark border followed by a piano key border using as many of the colors as possible. It is really pretty, pictures please when it is finished

    I think you should try some of that pretty green color. I also have been unhappy when trying neutral borders. Sometimes it seems to take away from the beautyy of the other colors.

    I think the tan print would be fine if you first put on a dark narrow border. Very pretty quilt!
