Default do I need a black border

Finished this buzz saw and its a good lap size. Was thinking of putting a black border if so how big. My sqs are 5.5 finished.I like it without. Opions please.
Snowing and cold again but getting lots of sewing done!
Thanks Gale

I would go with Navy. But, that's just my opinion from the photo.

I always like a narrow border to "frame" the main quilt body...just my personal thing. Whatever you decide, this is a really stunning quilt !!! The pattern and colors are great.

I like the black, but also the navy blue would be nice.

I like it without a border....maybe using black for the binding will give that "framed" look.

I would not go black but rather navy - deeper than the last color used - some navys are really dark which I love - or hate depending on if I'm trying to pair up something to wear. lol

I think a narrow navy blue border would frame it nicely.
