I agree with Prism99. You have a beautiful busy quilt top and putting a busy border on it doesn't for me work well. Do you have any tonals in your stash to try?? I would try a soft yellow or the soft mint you used in the quilt.

I agree with Prism99, the florals are competing with the blocks, a solid or blender would be my suggestion. I've been using more solids/blenders on my borders of late and then adding a fancier border quilting pattern to spice them up. Even using a matching colored thread they stand out on their own.
