The contrast is not as high as it looks in this photo. I even re-took the photo to try to get a better color and contrast. This is the first layout, 6" finished blocks (48" x 60"). The quilt in the book has a border of triangles of 2 prints.
I looked through all of the blue fabrics and found 2 that I have enough of. I just have to decide if I would rather just make more blocks or do the border like the book.
Here are the photos again of the 2 quilts. The blue one has the pieced border and the green one has no border.
I can start sewing the pink/green blocks while I think about it. I didn't get all of the new pinks and green cut yet so I just matched up pairs of the ones that were already cut. Some of these may change as I get the rest cut.

the blues and pinky-reds are so pretty together...I like the blue border idea a lot...

I vote do the blue border! I really like the two fabrics you selected.
I like the border idea - it would contain the blue and pink blocks.
I like the blue border
The mix of prints is definitely frothy. I agree about the border.
Blue, Red ‘n White has a Vintage Beauty look to it, so mesmerizing to see so many chintz like prints.

Have fun choosing what border(s) to add to this charming pink/blue quilt and while sewing the pink/green quilt together. What fun and how satisfying!
Hugs!
Oh Wanda, I love both of these quilts! The pink and blue one reminds me of "traditional" fabric from the distance. You really know how to bring things together!
I really like the look of the border.
