Any suggestions?

I've also auditioned a red, and that might work, or be too loud, depending on the shade, or maybe a green? I'm thinking that it needs to be a "quiet" fabric without a lot of pattern going on, because the rest of the quilt is rather busy, but I might be wrong... It will have to wait a while anyway, because I have nothing suitable in my stash to cut 6" borders + binding from (or the binding could be a different colour, I suppose...). So you see I have more questions then answers at the moment, so I'll just leave it to marinate for a few days, while I continue on the olympic quilt. I was going to work on that today, but good sister that I am (occasionally..) I made new curtains for my eldest sister's kitchen instead 0:-)<

That was a nice thing to do, sewing curtains!
Your sunflowerquilt is gorgeous! I think you are right, it needs to be a "calm" border fabric. The books used b&w dots, did you audition any polkadots?
Letting it marinate for a few days is a good plan, sometimes the right idea just shows itself after a while :-)
And....oh.....I am soooo impatient to see that olympic quilt of yours!
I think pulling out the sunflower colors would be nice for the border. I also think red would be good, but I'm a fan of red. Like Freddy Moran, I think of red as a neutral. Can you audition some fabrics you have in mind on the blog and then we can see what you're thinking?
Wow! Looks wonderful! I'm with you on the fabric ordering - there's always a good justification - I'm even happy to eat less. As for borders - I belong to the red camp. But you'll just have to lay down a strip of red on one side and a strip of navy on the other and we'll see ;-)
