    Do you have any of the darker material that is in some of the pinwheels?

    Since you don't have any of the sashing to do a border, I would use a darker color you can pull from the pinwheels. Agree with a brown. Also, probably don't want it wider than 2".

    I would use the black/lime green of the cornerstones for the borders. Cute!! :-D

    The sashing material for the border would be great.

    or a creme or white border would work fine.

    Very pretty quilt, hope you're feeling better now. I tend to like borders, so I'd think maybe a green or brown/rust color would make a great border

    Maybe a border with the same brown as the sashing pieces?
    Precious helper and great quilt. Yes, the brown OR perhaps the green of the cornerstones OR a combination of the two.
