Crochet Conundrum

My second ever granny square blanket is nearly done.
Truth is, it has been semi 'finished' for a while. But I can not make up my mind what to add as a border all around it. This is definitely where my newbie-ness shows.


 
My crochet conundrum continues.....
 
 
The blanket itself is massive. It can easily cover two people in a snuggle position on the sofa.
But it is in dire need of a lovely border.
 
 
Does anyone perhaps have an idea?
What kind of border would you put on this blanket?
I don't mind any amount of work involved. I just wish I could finish it.
 
Many thanks for any and all ideas!

  3. this is one of the loveliest granny square blankets i have seen. often i am not fond of the colors people choose. this is fresh and lovely. I might pick my favorite color in it and use it for the border. or if you wanted to use a different fabric, something soft and inviting.

      Yes, we live in a forest :) It is really beautiful, but in the Summer (sadly) it makes our house very dark inside, because of all the trees.
