The piecing of the Star Bright Sampler center is complete. Now is the time to decide on the appropriate border to finish the quilt. Appropriate will depend on several factors: size, design, and speed to complete. Included are several borders used to complete this quilt. Choose what works for you.
This is my completion of the quilt with the Winter Birds in its center. The quilt finishes at 81" square. The center completion measurement was 60 1/2". All borders added will increase the finished size. There are three borders added to this quilt. The first measures 2 1/2", the second 3 1/2", and the third is 6". 
This quilt finishes at 68 1/2". Because there was no dominate print used for this quilt, I created a pieced border to complete it. There are three borders added to the 60 1/2" quilt. The first is a 1 1/2" black border, the second a 2 1/2" pieced border, and it completes with a 1 1/2" black border.
This quilt includes many floral prints. To coordinate with the theme, the quilt was completed with a 6 1/2" floral print that was not included in the quilt center prints. The finished quilt is 66 1/2". 
Here is the original quilt I designed. It measures 66 1/2" completed and includes a stripped finishing border of 3 1/2".
There are many options to choose from to fit your personal taste and requirements. I hope you enjoyed our project together. I have greatly enjoyed participating with you.
