    I love all the pink. A dark narrow border and then a wider neutral border will set it off beautifully.

    Wow! Lovely quilt! I would audition all the suggestions and pick what makes it sing! If nothing makes it sing--then no border.

    Nope, I like it very much. You can never have to much pink.

    How long did it take you to hand stitch all of those tiny pieces??!!! I wouldn't use the pink. Perhaps the navy, dark brown, or even the very bright green for a binding only. Is that one you're going to practice on with the new LA? How big is it?

    I love everything about this quilt!

    To me, this is one of those quilts I would complete with no border. This quilt has a very old feel to it :-) Lucky you.

    best,

    It's stunning, and I agree with what most have said here. Use a contrasting darker border. Kudos!
